[rt-users] RTFM text formatting problem

Hmm... I didn't think I was.  For CustomFields I see these options:

Enter one value
Enter multiple values
Fill in one wikitext area
Fill in multiple wikitext areas
Upload one image
Upload multiple images
Select one value
Select multiple values
Upload one file
Upload multiple files
Fill in one text area

And I selected, "Fill in one text area."  It shows up as type "Text" in
the CustomFields table.  Is that not the right type?

Thanks,
Nate
