@Samwise Brave The dates are currently locked in but I should have been more specific. Not everything will be locked down on April that is just when it begins. We start with non Formula Rich Text fields in April only and then the specific timeline is:
  1. Rich Text Fields, where customers could unintentionally allow end users to insert JavaScript. This area will be closed in the April 2021 release. Note: This does not include Formula-Rich Text fields.
  2. Custom Branding, where customers typically insert JavaScript to modify the UI in non-native ways. This area will be closed in the June 2021 release. 
  3. Formula Fields, where customers can write scripts to automate workflows. Examples of these include cascading deletes and executing multiple actions when a user presses a button. This area will be closed in the August 2021 release.  This includes Formula-Rich Text fields.

So the timeline for the different changes is spread out to allow more time for the more intensive workflows that can be housed in formula fields.
