Bring Rich Text Field information from a Child table to the Parent

Bring Rich Text Field information from a Child table to the Parent
Hello,
How do i bring a Rich Text Filed info from the child table to the parent.
i have three tables . lets call them 1-2-3
Table 3 is the child and i need to transfer the rich text from table 3 to the table 1
they are all connected .
Table 3 is the child to Table 2 and table 2 is the child to table 1
thank you.

  • I suggest to make a formula text field equal to the rich text field.
    Then make a Combined Text Summary field to get that up to Table 2.

    Then make a Combines d text summary field to get THST field up to table 1.

    Then make a Rich text formula field to convert back to Rich Text and replace the semi colons with a line break character.

    SearchAndReplace([Combined Text Summary field], " ; ", "<br>")

      Hello Mark,
      Can i use automation to trigger info onto the table 1 when i leave comments in the rich text filed in table 3?

        Well, you can try, but if here are multiple child records with comments, then how would that get written to the parent record.  Maybe you should need to give me an example with multiple comments on table 3 and what you would wan to see in table 1.  Then also what if he comments get edited or deleted in table 3.  It gets very messy to try to deal with that so I would not go that way
