(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 26
I have a column which is enhanced rich text multiple lines of text column with bullets and numbering included. If i display that column in powerapps, it is displayed as TextInput column something like below.
 
<div class="ExternalClass4324587895AABCDEERRRDDD"><p></p></div>
I need to show this column in proper format with bullets and numbering in powerapps form. Also, this column should be an auto height column with no scroll bar appearing. 
 
May i know how to achieve this?

    This should be almost what you need - you will need two controls - an HTML Text Control and a Rich Text Editor.
     
    Set the Visible of the HTML item to
    YourFormName.Mode = FormMode.View
    The HtmlText to
    YourRichTextControl.HtmlText
    The AutoHeight to
    true
    Now the Rich Text Control - the Visible to
    !YourHTMLTextControl.Visible
    The Default to
    ThisItem.YourFieldName
    and the Height to
    If(
       YourFormName.Mode = FormMode.New,
       100,
       YourHTMLTextControl.Height + 60
    )
    You will have to play with both numbers a bit depending on how you want this to look.
    Also the Update of the Data Card
    YourRichTextControl.HtmlText
    Essentially, you are putting the Rich Text content into the HTML control, which has the AutoHeight set to true and then using this Height to set the equivalent in the Rich text Editor, but adding the height of the header. Also in View Mode, you will see the HTML control.
