Text format
June Lin
It is quite difficult to modify the text in V1. I often copied from my Outlook to V1 to save typing time.
After copying, if with bullet, it gets all mess-up. My question is that is there any way to edit NOT in text mode?

The other bad thing about text in VersionOne is that if you extract the text from description fields using the VersionOne API, you will get text intermingled with HTML markup and it is often unusable. This is greatly amplified if you copy text from another source (such as a Word document). It’s unfortunate that copying text from other documents is so hard with VersionOne.

In V1, user is allowed to put bullet when editing the Description, Step, Expected Results..... The end result is it all gets mess-up. So, for me it is bug.

Bryan,
I don't have much to say about the editor itself but I'm inclined to jump in when the API is mentioned. However it gets there, the description field is often filled with crazy HTML. Fortunately, it's not that hard to strip it out when you access it programmatically. For example, in .NET you can "wash it with regex":
string plainTextDescrption = Regex.Replace(defect.description.ToString(), @"<(.|\n)*?>", string.Empty);
Yours truly,

I have not logged an idea on this with VersionOne but also find the text editing to be clumsy at times, especially in use of bulleted lists and getting the fonts/sizes you would want when copying text from other sources. Improving this would be appreciated by our team for sure. Also, in-line graphics or ability to have links to attachments would be nice, especially since attachments don’t get propagated forward when copying or splitting Stories or Defects…or changing it so the attachment references are available on all copies/splits.
