How to be editable an html required field ?
One answer
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.

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

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".
