Unable to set HTML field of a SugarBean

It was more simple than that to use the TinyMCE field type. It is enough to only specify the type of the field and the corresponding database data type.

It takes a bit more effort to specify TinyMCE settings, but there is some documentation to help with that in the developer guide here.

$dictionary['Case_Replies'] = array(
    'table' => 'case_replies',
    'audited' => true,
    'activity_enabled' => false,
    'duplicate_merge' => true,
    'fields' => array (
  'message' =>
  array (
    'required' => false,
    'name' => 'message',
    'vname' => 'LBL_MESSAGE',
    'type' => 'htmleditable_tinymce', // Specify the field type to be TinyMCE
    'dbType' => 'text', // This is data type of the field value in the database to save the HTML/UTF-8 markup
    'massupdate' => false,
    'default' => '',
    'no_default' => false,
    'comments' => 'TinyMCE editor for displaying HTML reply messages',
    'help' => 'Case reply message',
    'importable' => 'true',
    'duplicate_merge' => 'enabled',
    'duplicate_merge_dom_value' => '1',
    'audited' => false,
    'reportable' => true,
    'unified_search' => true,
    'merge_filter' => 'disabled',
    'full_text_search' =>
    array (
      'enabled' => true,
      'boost' => '1',
      'searchable' => true,
    ),
    'calculated' => false,
    'size' => '20',
    'studio' => 'visible',
    'rows' => '20',
    'cols' => '20',
  ),
);

Hi Artis Plocins

The module KBContents has a tinymce field, it works great on creating a record. As you can see it defines it own Htmleditable_tinymceField, so probably you will need to do something like that.

Kind regards

I managed to create a TinyMCE field, but I am getting some errors in Chrome JS console when trying to edit it, so I cannot actually change the value as a user

<?php

So is it not possible to set the value of an HTML field when my customisation creates a new record?

According to the documentation

http://support.sugarcrm.com/Documentation/Sugar_Developer/Sugar_Developer_Guide_6.5/Module_Framework/Metadata/SugarField…

and code in <mysugar>/clients/base/fields/html/html.js the html field type is read only.

 /**
     * @inheritdoc
     *
     * The html area is always a readonly field.
     * (see htmleditable for an editable html field)
     */
    initialize: function(options) {
        options.def.readonly = true;
        this._super('initialize', [options]);
    },
