Rich Text Editor is a new enhancement provided by Microsoft. Initially it was introduced in the email body, but much more recently, we found that it is also available in the Description field.
When we looked into the customization of field properties, we found out that Microsoft also added an Out-of-Box feature called the “Rich Text Editor Control” used for the Description field.
It can be enabled for any CRM multiline text field. We confirmed it by building a specific custom multiline text field.

- And choose “Rich Text Editor Control” from the list of controls. Finally, ‘Save and publish the form to see the Rich text editor in the multiline text field.
The below element has a parameter called Custom configuration URL, where we must put a relative web resource URL to allow a few more features.
The value entered in the Custom configuration URL for the Description field is /WebResources/msdyn_/RichTextEditorControl/RTEGlobalConfiguration.json
