Hello,  
I have been tinkering around with the Rich Text component and I have some issues.  
I know that to get BOLD textr you use the \*\* some text \*\* tag and it works in the Rich Text ccomponent’s editor just fine.

But if I have some text e.g. **I want bold text** stored in an app variable/label and I say:  
set Rich\_Text’s Text to app variable text,  
The Rich Text displays the text exactly as **I want bold text**. It doesn’t make it bold at all.

Please can we see if there is a fix for this?  
Thank you 😃
