Do you mean, some HTML fields are opened in EDIT mode  and others on the same Tab are opened in PREVIEW Mode?

That's what we also see, specially if you have multiple HTML fields in same section. 

Yes. We need to have the same behaivor for all the required html fields, or, at least, we need that the first one is editable. Do you know how to do it ?

I added several HTML fields to a work item and all I can do is confirm that there is an issue. When the tab opens, some or all of them are in Edit mode, then close down one by one until only one remains open (sometimes the last, sometimes the first, seems to depend on the browser). And when I click to edit on a "Preview" one, the one that was open for edit changes to "Preview".


I'm guessing this has something to do with our Rich Text Edit control implementation. Going to try and conference someone else in who would know for sure.

Hello. This is working as designed. At the time the Rich Text editor was implemented using the dojo rich text part, there were several issues that would appear when more than one editor was presented on the screen, including memory problems and slow page responsiveness as all the editors load. The root problem is the dojo rich text widget uses an iFrame. One fix would be to use a different rich text widget, and some exploration work has been done to demonstrate that this is feasible, which it is. However, this enhancement is currently not in plan.

I recommend you open an RFE which will give this issue more weight when the next iteration is planned.

A workaround may be to use String attributes with non-rich text presentation, although this is limiting.
