Cannot add advanced options to WYSIWYG field

[ComputerCarl]

Using version 8.5.5

If I create a new field of type WYSIWYG, I can add the code below in the Options -> Advanced Options -> TinyMCE Options. It will work as expected and spellcheck will be performed while typing.

However, I cannot add the option after the field exists.

When trying to save, I get the error;

"Trouble processing the request. Try again after refreshing the page."

TinyMCE options;

{
  "browser_spellcheck": true
}

Also;

• I can remove the options and save successfully.
• If I attempt to re-add the options, I get the same error above.
• The error appears behind the modal, so very hard to see.
• The Directus documentation does not show a sample nor stipulate the options should be in JSON format.

@rijkvanzanten — I assume this is App since it's an interface?

[rijkvanzanten]

I'm assuming it's API as saving of a new option is going wrong, I don't think it's inherently related to the WYSIWYG actually 🤔

@ComputerCarl could you share the network request from the devtools? I'm wondering what the payload / response was for this request

Thanks for taking a look into this!

I am having the same issue/error when I try to add TinyMCE options through the UI interface. Once this is functional I am also curious on how we would add premium plugins to the tinyMCE in directus.

[danieljwestman]

Anyone getting the advanced options going for TinyMCE? I would like to add a premium plugin. I'm in v9 if that makes any difference...
