Custom Form Field with copy/paste feature for images and text in one field and tables to enter data

We currently have teams that create a strategy document that includes information for many teams. The Creative Team is requesting the teams make requests in WF with only Creative needs and not the whole strategy doc attached. The requestors provide screen snips of images and text describing their needs in the document. Not all information is relevant in the document for the Creative Team so we moved to custom fields in the Custom Issue/Request form.  There is not a custom form field format to capture this information in the request. I opened WF support case #00390925 "Ability to copy/paste images and add to a custom form field" and was told the functionality doesn't exist and to enter an Idea. See attached examples that were also included in the WF case.

 

The requestors would also like to add information in the custom form fields in a table format that is much easier to read, interpret and digest vs. adding fields for each row of a table. See attached doc with an example. 

 

The data captured in the new fields, especially the table, will need the ability to run reports on those fields whether within WF or exported out of WF.

Our team would definitely use a custom field that allows tables. I can imagine that would be useful for a variety of industries. For our application, the marketing team sometimes wants to display information in an email or web page via a table. This keeps information clear and reduces display problems that may occur after publishing. Currently, our team must write out the contents of the table, which gets quite tedious and confusing, or they attach a document. When we use automation to bring copy into our email software, it obviously won't capture the attached document. We instead manually create the table in our software. We use Workfront in an effort to reduce manual efforts, especially duplicative work, so I'd be interested in this development.
