Question

Would it be possible to add a Rich Text field as a filter in a rule ?

We have a field at the format Rich Text. 

We need to use it as a filter for a Fetch Data action. However, it seems that it isn’t possible to filter from a rich text. 

We can’t convert that Rich Text information into a string, because we sometimes have more than the limited number of characters authorized for a string (which is 255 if my memory serves me right).

Do you have any plan to add rich texts as filters or any workaround ?

Have you tried using a transformation after the fetch? I’ve been able to use a transformation to add a filter to a rich text field.

Have you tried using a transformation after the fetch? I’ve been able to use a transformation to add a filter to a rich text field.

Would the transformation be able to keep more than 255 characters ? 

If I understand correctly, a transformation would be from Rich Text to String, which would take me back to the initial problem.

It will keep the original text.

I just tested on a Rich Text Field, filtered on “Contains” 2023, and it retains the whole value of the field.
