WYSIWYG Editor for Multi-Line Custom Module Field

Hello,

I just noticed that there is not an option to use the WYSIWYG editor for multi-line fields in Custom Modules. I checked the Public Backlog and I don’t see a feature request for it there either. This is a pretty critical feature for many of my sites - any idea if this is in the backlog and I just missed it? Anyone else use this feature pretty heavily with clients that would like to request it?

If it’s already available or it’s on the list of features to add, sorry that I missed it!

Thank you!

Yes, it’s already available. You select it as a separate field type rather than turning it on for a multiline.
It’s at the very bottom of the list of fields:

When using the WYSIWIG editor field in custom modules via admin console, this works a treat. However when added to a front end page for say a user who’s logged in to update their own details - is there a way to get the WYSIWIG on the page for users?

You’d need to implement your own WYSIWYG plugin on the input field for front-end functionality.
Like these plugins for example:

Thanks Adam. :grinning: I used https://www.tiny.cloud/ and that worked nicely. There are free accounts with API key. All easy to set up.
