MergeField Formatting for item.description help

LB_12512364 — Tue, 07 Jan 2025 22:57:49 GMT

When exporting to a word document I am using the item.description MergeField to identify where I want to the description to be placed in my template. For some reason, all my merge fields match the formatting in my word document, except for item.description. Is there a way I can modify the formatting for this within my word template? Specifically, I want the text bolded, and center aligned, but it comes unbolded and left aligned every time I export.

I have already tried switching the formatting from \* MERGEFORMAT to \* CHARFORMAT to no avail.

Dear @LB_12512364 ,

The description of the items cannot be formatted via the template, it gets the format based on the wiki format of the content.

So you can make changes in the text format if you use the codebeamer UI's editor.

The description, and every other wikitext type field are handled specially.

This is intentional as part of improving the efficiency of generating rich-text into the export.
