Changing colour of text in custom fields - drop down menus

1

Hi All,

I’m working on making improvements to my sales order lists in manager as we use this as a bit of a workflow list.

At the moment I have a Multi-value field that i use to mark an order as urgent and to make it stand out I have it setup so the text shows as red with the following html in the custom field settings < span style = “color: #FF0000;” > URGENT .

Is there a way of having the text for this show as red without all the HTML stuff being visible in the drop down options? See below screenshot of what it looks like in the dropdown.

Not possible for your requirement you have to use HTML code.

Thank you Syed.

I understand that I need to use html to code for this to occur and have done that. However my question is more about the appearance when its showing in the drop down menu and if there is a way to not show the html in that.

Manager doesn’t render HTML/CSS inside form controls (like dropdowns). Any HTML you add to a dropdown option will show as literal text in the picker.
What you can do instead (to short the text length)

  • Use plain text or emojis to visually flag options without HTML, for example: “:red_circle: URGENT” or “:double_exclamation_mark: URGENT”. These display cleanly in the dropdown.

Thank you, this might be a good work around.

If it was just me using the program I wouldn’t worry about the html being visible however with staff using the program it needs to be a bit more user friendly.
