Steps to reproduce

Create table with conten in cells wchich require formating, I found the only way how to format it by using

  • html tags.
    Examle:
    | 009 | {onecrm.gui_entityManagement.custAccount_moving.target_account_label}
  • List of relevant CustomerAccounts shall be retrieved from ONE-CRM.Processes.ONE-CRM.Business Entities.Customer Account.getListOfAllowedCA, input attributes shall be set as follows:
  • nodeId = reference to target Customer from element 008 kept in cuRefNo2 attribute
  • user = Reference to ContactPerson from 1PSession
  • customer = reference to target Customer from element 008 kept in _cuRefNo2 attribute
  • oneLevelFlag = false
  • Item description shall be formatted as follows
  • CustomerAccount.customName + “, “ + {onecrm.gui_entityManagement.custAccount_moving.targetAccountSelect} + CustomerAccount.caRefNo
  • when customer account is chosen
  • _caRefNo2 variable shall be set to choice caRefno Editable if cuRefNo2 is set

    When trying to edit this kind of indented text inside a cell, the only workaround is to place the cursor at the very beginning of the text block and navigate right using the arrow keys to reach the desired part (e.g., the 5th line). Or when double click on specific line I have to click on </> to switch that line to edit mode.
    It appears that while the text is visually rendered across multiple lines, only the first line acts as editable. For instance, if I select ‘customer = reference to target Customer’, which visually acts as the 3rd bullet point, I am entirely unable to edit it.

    Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

    Please, follow the Troubleshooting Guide before answering Yes.

    Expected result

    I expect that I am able to edit selected text also when html

  • tags are used without need to click </> tag displayed after double click on text.

    Actual result

    It is not possible to edit selected text.

    Hi, I’ve moved your post to Help for now.

    Your Obsidian installer is extremely out of date. I didn’t fully understand the issue, but your first step should be to try to follow the troubleshooting guide.

    • Download and reinstall Obsidian for a full complete update
    • Test without any community plugins and with default theme.
    • And also if needed, update all your plugins.
