add long text area fields on related list

Hi everyone,

I want to add a "Description " Long text area field on the "Cases" related list section. But it is not showing on the available list section while adding columns on "Cases" related list.

Please help me to achieve this.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Shreya,

This is a known issue from salesforce end and you can upvote the below.

As an other option  you can create a text field and write a logic to copy the content from description field to custom field and add it to the pagelayout.

If this solution helps, please mark it as best answer.

Thanks,

Thanks, that worked a treat! I created an Activity Object field, then a flow to copy the Task>description to copy to the Description field. Cheers, Nicola
