    Can I create a Umbraco Forms answer type as Rich Text?

    Using Umbraco And Getting Started
    Umbraco 8

    I would like to give my users the ability to submit form answers with rich-text formatting. Can I just modify FieldType.Textfield.cshtml and make it render a rich text editor?

    Hi Mike,

    There are some documentation on how to extend Umbraco forms with custom field types : https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Add-ons/UmbracoForms/Developer/Extending/Adding-a-Fieldtype

    On the frontend you could solve this by using TinyMce or another richt text editor javascript plugin ?

    But I wonder what the use case is for having a form with a rich text field on it.

    Thanks, I will check out the link you supplied. Our site has a member section where users post job opportunities. They would like to format the job descriptions with bold/underline etc. Nothing fancy.

    I have a similar request: Rich Text Editor to be available to form users so they can post answers in richtext format.

    So far I've only created a custom richtext editor for the PV in forms, so any advice would be very welcome.

    I've only just started researching this but am currently completely fogged as to how I would get a richtext editor to render on the frontend form itself.

    Also this if you just want to install a package and be done: https://our.umbraco.com/packages/backoffice-extensions/umbraco-forms-rich-text/

    I looked at that package, and that seems to only allow for rich text within a form (to display) - it doesn't create an answer type as rich text.
