Performance between Free Form Text and Rich Text

edited Dec 18, 2019 1:49AM in Web Site / E-Commerce

Silly question but is there a performance gain between using a Free Form Text field versus Rich Text field for tags?

<%=getCurrentAttribute('item','custitem_Free_Form_Text')%>

vs.

<%=getCurrentAttribute('item','custitem_Rich_Text')%>

Rich Text processes tags / html where Free Form Text does not. I would guess this is more work but the question is, if you have 10 fields to getCurrentAttribute, would Free Form Text be faster/better.

Being a lazy guy, if there is no difference, I would be inclined to create all fields which are used in a getCurrentAttribute as Rich Text. This way I can always add imbedded tags or html.

Howdy, Stranger!
