Is it possible to map rich text area fields using the SFDC connector? When I try to create a form "From Salesforce", the rich text area fields do not show up. I need to map rich text areas since I am running up against the limit of 25 long text areas per object in Salesforce, and wanted to use rich text areas as a workaround (see http://community.salesforce.com/t5/Visualforce-Development/25-Long-Text-Areas-Limit-but-I-need-more/m-p/190436).
I need so many freeform text fields, because my organization is going to be using Salesforce to track interviews with potential job candidates and our current form has many long text questions.
Unfortunately rich text areas are not returned to our connector due to Salesforce's API decisions. We're working now on an updated connector that uses the latest Salesforce API to retrieve those fields. We hope it have it out for beta testing next week.
Happy to answer further questions, FormAssembly Support.
With such a long survey, you might consider breaking the survey into separate section objects ( which you can map in FormAssembly normally ). Not sure why Salesforce would set an arbitrary limit on text-fields like that, but I guess we can assume they have a good reason?
Yes, I may have to use custom objects and associate them back to the Contact, but I was hoping to avoid the complexity. Thanks for your prompt feedback.
