I hadn’t thought about doing that. A good solution, which makes me feel stupid.
Let me make two points:
-
Desires like yours are exactly why the ability to put HTML in fields (announced by [16.4.16] Added ability to use HTML markup in fields) was added a year ago. Not all HTML tags and attributes are supported, but many are. Because your desire is already handled this way, I am fairly certain you will not see an additional custom field type. The philosophy has been to allow users to do unusual things with custom fields rather than clutter the software with more, specific features.
-
Nothing is easy for me to implement. I’m not a developer. I am one of the forum moderators and have nothing to do with development of the software.
