Article - Enabling Rich Comments in ServiceNow (Beyond Plain Text)

New article articles in ServiceNow Community · Feb 16, 2026 · article

Anyone who has worked in ServiceNow knows this frustration:

You're trying to explain an issue clearly in a comment or work note…

But you can't paste a screenshot properly.

You can't format steps cleanly.

You can't add a nicely labeled hyperlink.

The standard journal fields are mostly plain text. That works for quick updates — but not for detailed explanations, troubleshooting steps, or user guidance.

This project introduces a lightweight rich text editor (Quill) inside a UI Page or modal, allowing users to:

  • Paste screenshots

  • Add clickable links

  • Format text (bold, lists, headers)

  • Structure troubleshooting steps clearly

  • Share better, more readable updates

Instead of sending long blocks of unformatted text, teams can communicate in a clearer, more professional way.
