I am trying to:

Create a WYSIWYG field in a Repeatable Group. But it turns out to be just plain text. I created a WYSIWYG field in non-repeatable, and indeed it has the editing buttons.

This is my first time using Toolset for a client. The new many-to-many relationship setup in the beta tipped the scales to Toolset for me! So I'm using the 2.3 beta versions – not sure if it's a bug / limitation in this version or what.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen:

See attached screenshots of the Field Group area and the Page area.

I expected to see:

The editing buttons (bold, italic, link, etc) for the WYSIWYG field.

Instead, I got:

A plain text field.

Any help is appreciated, because so far I'm liking Toolset alot.

PS In the screenshots, the offending filed is called Block Paragraph. Two tests for comparison are called Block Paragraph Multiline (which I expect to be unformatable text) and Test WYSIWYG Field (not in the Repeatable Group). The field called Block Paragraphy should be WYSIWYG.

Thanks! Mark

Hi Mark,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Could you try downloading out Types 3.0 Beta and let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane

Will do. Ah I could update the beta from the control panel – nice. I'm also having trouble putting Repeatable Group fields into a Layout – I'll let you know if this fixes those.

Shane,

Upgrading to Types 3.0 beta1 didn't fix it. After I upgraded, I added a new Repeatable Group and put a WYSIWYG field in it. But that WYSIWYG field also didn't have the WYSIWYG controls when I went to the page.

I've attached screenshots showing the Field Groups area and the Page area, showing the new Repeatable Group with new WYSIWYG field, and also the non-repeatable group's WYSIWYG field, which does show the controls.

Hi Mark,

Can we close here as the issue is already being looked at by our development team so not much else we can do here but to wait until they fix it in a release.

Thanks
Shane
