Hi Andrea_1992 ,

you have the option "Append Changes to existing text" turned on

If you disable that, the view will turn back to normal.

But check if you wanted to use that option first. It appends whatever you entered into the multiline-text field to the contents of the field whenever you save and by doing so it creates a kind of history/log. That data will be lost, if you turn that option off.

Best Regards,
Sven

SvenSieverding Thank you very much for your help...one more thing: when I paste a "table" copied from Excel, I get the possibility of viewing only, for example, a little part of the table. I tried to create conditional formatting, giving "auto" size to height and width in the JSON scheme, but I lost the "graphics" and I can see the structure of the table as its "source":

Any hint?

This is the code I used for formatting:

{

"$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",

"elmType": "div",

"txtContent": "@currentField",

"style": {

"min-height": "1em",

"height": "auto",

"width": "auto"

}

Hi Andrea_1992 ,

unfortunately, this is not supported.
You cannot format a rich text column with list formattings. At best it will turn out like this.

See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/declarative-customization/column-formatting#supported-column-types

The following are currently not supported: Filename (in Document Libraries) Retention Label Sealed columns Multi-Line Text column with enhanced rich text

But you can format that column if you disable rich text for it....... But then you loose all the text formatting.

Best Regards,
Sven
