How can I enter special formatting like [wrap], in the text field of automations?

Let’s say I want to use the user field prompt component in the PM I send to users as a welcome message to ask them for further information. How do I enter this in the text field the automation plugin offers? My problem is that I can’t switch to the markdown editor in the interface, so my wrap is always escaped.

We recently added support for [wrap] in the rich text editor

but I’m not sure if it’s just available in the “composer” or in any editor :thinking:

@renato any ideas?

My forum is still on Commits · discourse/discourse · GitHub, so maybe I simply need to wait for an update.

Yes, I just tested and it should work there too (however I’m uncertain if forcing the rich editor in that area is intentional…).

Yes, very likely, please let us know if you find any issues after the update.

It is possible to use it after the update, but the only way to enter it that I found was to type it all myself. I cannot easily copy an example from meta, and since the menu isn’t available in the field where I type the message for the automation, I cannot use the wrap input help either.
But maybe I am just doing it wrong? I usually don’t use RTE, so maybe I don’t know the right trick. But I also struggled with the wrap input help in the markdown composer, so maybe the problem is me, not the software.
