How to enable plain text format for body in specific content type

Question

I have one content type, where I want to restrict the body field to plain text only. In Drupal 7, there was an option to set the plain text format explicitly in field configuration; however in Drupal 8, there is no "plain text" option in the select box. I cannot change user permissions to text formats, because I want to have plain text for the administrator as well.

In Drupal 7:

In Drupal 8:

So please, how to force the plain text in body field? Do I have to create a new text format? If so, why such a nonsense (my desired text format already exists, but cannot be used)?

Thanks!

Answer 1

See the issue Allow text field to enforce a specific text format. You can use the patch from this issue or install the module Allowed Formats which provides these options in the text field configuration:

Answer 2

You've got a good point. I don't know why the built in plain text format is disabled unless all other formats are deleted ... "This format is shown when no other formats are available."

I couldn't find an answer for it's disabled either.

So you have to create a new plain text format.

All you have to do is go to admin/config/content/formats. Then Add text format. Then fill out the next screen and set Display any HTML as plain text.

Answer 3

In Drupal 8 Just add new plain text format by giving the extra space between plain and text label it will create the new one for you.

Answer 4

You can fix this with a hidden config option (not present in the GUI). You can set it from drush:

drush cset filter.settings always_show_fallback_choice TRUE
