Description

Describe the bug
In the article metadata, additional fields do not enable HTML formatting. For example, adding links to related material like code and data is not possible.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to article Metadata section
  2. Under Additional Fields, the fields are only simple text fields
  3. The corresponding setting is under DASHBOARD/MANAGER/SUBMISSION FIELDS
  4. Under Kind, none of the options provide the desired functionality (neither Text Area nor Text Field (current) offer no HTML formatting.)

Research direction

Start in the article Metadata section and the Additional Fields configuration under DASHBOARD/MANAGER/SUBMISSION FIELDS, reproducing the behavior with both Text Area and Text Field kinds. Done means an additional metadata field supports HTML formatting so links to related code and data can be added.
