Rich text editor for content field not available for custom field

When using a custom textarea field (to provide content for the new custom post) , the RTF editor option is greyed out and not available. There is no clear reason why this is so, because when removing the ‘disabled’ argument from the input checkbox using Chrome console, the option can be checked en when saving the form, all seems to be working well.

I don’t know if this is a specific Gravity Forms + Custom Post Types issue or that it is a bug in the core Gravity Forms plugin, but manually removing the ‘disabled’ argument from the checkbox is a dirty but useful workaround for now.

An even quicker way is to open Console (when editing the form) and run the following javascript:

jQuery('.rich_text_editor_setting input[type=checkbox]').removeAttr('disabled');

This will enable all RTF checkboxes and allows you to check (or uncheck) them. Save the form afterwards and you’re good to go.
