No Allow Some HTML Option On Text Formula Fields?
I don't see the "Allow Some HTML" option on text formula fields.
Forum Discussion
Mark would be correct with the release this weekend all existing Formula - Text fields did get converted over to the Rich Text field type and going forward Rich Text would be the option you would want for any Formula - Text fields that would have had HTML enabled.
In your instance David did it break a form rule to copy text into a rich text field or was it a form rule copying text out of a rich text field? If this behavior is persisting we would certainly love to know about it so that we can look into it, since this was a significant change we are trying to find any issues or bugs that may have come up with the field type being opened up.

- Evan--
It is copying from a rich text formula from a linked table.
I have a table with a RT-formula field that I use as a template, then in the linked table, the form rule copies that linked field info into a RT-text field for the user to further edit. So maybe it is that it is from another table, but I doubt it. In the past, when I've used js to create an rich text editing tool, I had similar problems. - Hi David,
So you were using a form rule to grab a related rich text fields value and then push that linked field into another formula field? Were you doing this via some embedded scripting? Typically a formula fields return isn't open for editing by a user on the form, so I ask just to get clarification. - No, I am pushing a rich-field-formula-from-a-linked-table into a rich-text-field (used to be a text field 'with some html').
- Thank you David, that definitely clarifies the situation you are running into. I am going to bubble that feedback up to our Product Team that worked on the Rich-Text fields. I would also suggest if you want to get a specific issue spun up and tied to you so that you get a progress update to open a support case. I know we definitely want to track any use cases where the Rich Text update caused issues with existing applications.
- Evan, I also had this issue. Not only did QB change the Text Formula fields to Rich Text, they also changed the Text (Multi-Line) fields I had to Rich Text. This broke my Form Rules as well. Mine were a simple, "If this checkbox field is checked, put this text into the field". They were not trying to push data from Rich Text somewhere else. I have reported to Support, who has no clue this is happening. Can't believe more users aren't noticing this yet.
