How to add icons as bullet points in forms

Hey,

I was wondering if anyone knows of an easy way to add icons in the new forms as bullet points in a richt text field.

I know that in rich text fields in other content types you can insert images but it does not seem like you can do it here.

Unfortunately it also seems like i can not edit the padding of an image i insert in a form.

Hey @MarcelTrottier unfortunately in the new forms editor there's no real customisations available, it's just what is there. So you can't add any custom HTML or CSS to add in your own elements. The only way to add this would be through using the old forms editor, but then also you lose your new forms features!

Hey @MarcelTrottier,

At the moment, HubSpot’s new (step) form editor doesn’t support adding custom HTML, CSS, or imagesincluding icons within the rich text fields. If you need that level of customization, the legacy form editor still allows you to use the rich text module to insert images and format content more freely.

That said, if you’re just looking to add emojis, special characters, or symbols as bullet points, you can use your operating system's built-in tools:

Windows: Windows key + . (period)
Mac: Fn + E or Control + Command + Space

Just a heads-up this is a native OS feature, not something provided directly by HubSpot. Hope that helps!

Thank you. That was very helpful. Its a shame that we are missing this level of customization in the new editor. Hopefully this will change in the future.

Thanks Tom. This was quite helpful and unfortunately also what I expected. I hope this will change in the future.
