How can I enable the formatting toolbar for a property page field?

[anai_barrera10]

I'm working on a property page where I want to enable the formatting toolbar (bold, italic, font size, etc.) for certain fields. I noticed that the toolbar only appears for attributes of type varchar.

For example, in this case, the toolbar does appear:

AppGroupInicioComment = Item(~f10000000b20[Comment]), In(AppGroupInicio), Control(Text)

But in this one, it does not appear, even though it's also a text field:

AppGroupInicioX = Item(~NZlb8KfhdrcA[GFB_X]), In(AppGroupInicio), Control(Text)

Both attributes are strings, but only the one named Comment shows the formatting options. Is there a specific setting or metadata flag that enables the rich text editor for varchar attributes? Or is it based on the attribute name or some other configuration?

Any help or documentation reference would be appreciated!

Hello,

As you mentioned, I created the varchar but still can't get the editing toolbar to appear. Do you have any other suggestions?

Kind Regards

According to the documentation, the "Text Formatting" feature is available on MetaAttributes with the MetaAttribute Format set to "T" . This format allows for text manipulation and formatting options within those specific MetaAttributes.

But it seems only available with this combination (VarChar with Standard):

It makes a sense when you see the MetaAttribute descriptions:
