We notice when Users insert large images into Rich Text fields in New Style Forms, the image extends beyond the edge of the Rich Text field. We would like the image to be constrained by the Rich Text field boundaries. Any ideas?

This is a manual entry text field right? You could try and create a formula-rich text that you only show on 'View' that does a SearchAndReplace() on the rich-text field and swap out the <img tag with <img style='width: 50px' or something like that - basically trying to override the saved image tag someway. The actual img gets stored as the base64 string so it looks like <img src="data:image/png;base64....." so you would by inserting the style tag essentially.
This would only work on view though - if you wanted it more permanent you could consider trying to do the same thing with a pipeline or webhook to do the same concept but actually save it with the style in the tag.
Appreciate your ideas Chayce!
Correct, the text field is manual entry. The View idea is a good one but does not meet the requirements in our use case. I will try out the Webhook/Pipeline idea, that could work.
You could use the formula as a way to validate the swap and if it works as intended just copy that formula into the rich-text field via an automation. Gives you at least the confirmation that it's working and you can test out or dynamically play with the sizes
I realize it's basic, but is there an option to push the responsibility back onto the user? If your user double-clicks on the image, they'll get a pop-up that allows for adding size constraints.
Hi Blake,
Good idea. This is also an option. If this option was implemented, what is the expected response from Users?
I think folks who are comfortable in Quickbase would know what to do but others would feel "gated" by adding such a requirement.
