Avoiding Display Issues When Pasting Text in the Formatted Text Multilanguage Field

Overview

This article explains how pasting text with embedded HTML into the Formatted Text Multilanguage Field in GRC applications can cause display issues. Follow our best practices to ensure smooth and consistent text formatting.

Problem

Pasting text directly from other elements in the GRC application or external sources into the Formatted Text Multilanguage Field can include hidden HTML code. This can lead to:

  • Misaligned text and images
  • Overlapping elements
  • Broken links
  • Unintended font styles and sizes

Best Practices

To avoid these issues:

  1. Paste as Plain Text: Use Ctrl + Shift + V (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + V (Mac) to paste without formatting.
  2. Clean the Text: Paste the text into a plain text editor (like Notepad) first, then copy and paste it into the GRC field.

Example of best practice 2

Scenario: You copy a section from another element page in the GRC application and paste it into the Multilanguage Field. The form appears misaligned and incorrectly styled.

Solution: Paste the text into Notepad first, then copy it from Notepad and paste it into the Multilanguage Field. Format the text using the GRC application's tools.

Conclusion

Always paste as plain text into the Formatted Text Multilanguage Field to avoid display issues caused by hidden HTML code.
