Is it possible to have viewable email chains ?
Hi John,
You can refer to this community post and reverse the solution provided by one of our colleagues. Make email chain look like normal email
Hope that helps!
Hi,
Is it possible to allow end-users to use text formatting in support tickets?
I see that the text formatting panel exists in Communities, but not when commenting on support requests. Why is that?
Are you pertaining to the My Activities section in the Help Center or perhaps the Submit a request section. Either way, the option for formatting is limited to Paragraph Style, Bold, Italic, Bulleted List, Numbered List, Code Block, Insert/Edit Link and Quote. Keyboard shortcut is also not available for it.
Dane,
I was talking about the "My Activities" section in the Help Center, when an end-user is viewing a specific support request and wants to submit a new comment, the text formatting toolbar is NOT visible.
As I said, it's visible in the Communities section, but not in the My Activities section, nor in the Submit a request section, and not in the Support Widget either.
I'll create a ticket for you to investigate further. Please wait for my update via email.
