Hello everyone,
many ServiceNow developers have encountered the problem of why you can't change the default font size in tinymce (html fields). The default size is 8pt and there are several ideas, including a few articles from ServiceNow, one of which says that there is no such feature in the system, another says about a workaround that recommends to put a default value in the field.
I'm not sure, but I may have found a more elegant solution using the internal functionality of tinymce itself. To do this, we all need to find all the containers on the page and set the font size value. Before version 6 this was possible via tinymcy.editors. But since version 6 this parameter is deprecated and we need to use tinymcy.get().
What needs to be done:
1. Create OnLoad client script (table sys_script_client)
2. And put this simple, very small, code
function onLoad() {
window.addEventListener('load', () => {
var tinymceDivs = document.getElementsByClassName('tox tox-tinymce');
for (var i = 0; i < tinymceDivs.length; i++) {
var editor = tinyMCE.get(i);
editor.getBody().style.fontSize = '10pt';
}
});
}
You can of course use .get() with the exact name of the container (textarea id). But in my case everything needed a global solution for all pages. Search for div wit class “tox-tinymce”, give the number of containers initialized on the page.
Good luck!
