Format painter in description/summary fields

What is the challenge?

We use Aha for a lot of our product documentation. There is a lot of copy/pasting and some documents end up looking very disjointed. Individually fixing each secion is very time consuming.


A format painter option, similar to the one you'd find in 365 products, would be very beneficial.

What is the impact?

Time saving and creating consistency across documents

Describe your idea

Simialr functionality to 365 products, I'd like to be able to highlight a section of text, use the format painter option, then select the text that you want to match the highlighted section.

    You can now copy the formatting in descriptions to make your content more consistent. To try this out, select some text with your desired formatting, and choose Copy format from the Insert menu. Then, select the text you would like to update, and choose Paste format. Hope this helps!

    Also I see that this was requested in 2016, but it's been almost a decade so perhaps you'll reconsider given how much more central your documentation/knowledge base has become to your product!

Add a format painter in description fields

In all the description fields (in addition to bold/italic/underline/bullet points and so on), I'd like to have the "format painter" that exists in Office suite so that I can copy the formatting of a text to another text.

Who would benefit? Everyone using notes and rich text description fields What impact would it make? Save time and provide consistency within a document. How should it work? Add the concept of a "format paintbrush" in the text editor that allows me...
