Hi guys,

To style a field we use the List Item Properties style.

But is there a way to style diferent parts of a text formula field?

I have this one, and I want to style the collaborator in bold and the date in small font. I also would like to have a wide blank space between the functions.

{Comentario Colaborador Com.Nombre} . {Fecha Com}

Hey Michael. You can achieve this using a few jquery commands in the JS backend. Since you’re using the ‘.’ as a delimiter, you can split the text using that and apply the separate styles and write it back to that particular HTML element.

Hi Arjun!

Thank for the solution to that.

In my actual use-case need it is not worth more JS code. But I note that it is possible and your solution for possible further use-case.

Thank you!
