create list inside a text column type

Is it posible to create a list of prices inside a text column type?

Since you can only select text type column in the following field, i was wondering if this could be done?

Basically i would like to use a <br> like in HTML, but in a text type column.

Hi @casitasrd 

Not possible the way you are describing it, as far as I know.

The description can support long text type, and you would be using the HTML option for such appearance.

But: 

1) html options are available for detail view type only

2) card viewsare sometime buggy (I avoid using it), and furthermore the line break is not supported in the "long piece of text" part.

For reference:

Rich Text Formatting - in Preview Program - Google Cloud Community

This, is easy to do. It's something like:

 

[yourRefList][yourPriceList]

 

or:

 

[Related Children][Price]

Thanks @Aurelien for your fast response. I'm going to check the rich text formatting referece, it looks interesting and maybe can work. However, the price format still not coming just by referencing like that.

Yes, I just answered your other post about this part ๐Ÿ™‚

 

Even after activating the new feature options and then the HTML formatting inside the longtext type column, the HTML tag still shows in the field.

I see now, it only works in the details view
