Custom Fields Formatting for Downloads

[PatrickRQ]

Hello,

I'd like to suggest to add option for custom fields formatting as it was in IPB3. Seems it was removed in IPB4 and it is no longer to wrap the custom field the way we want it to be displayed. Best example presenting the issue is URL field type where it is impossible to nicely wrap the URL field content into <a href="{content}">text</a>

The author has chosen to display it this way!

The support field is an editor box where one can include whatever he wants. Some use images like https://invisioncommunity.com/files/file/9604-makotos-gallery-enhancements/, some use "support topic" as link text like https://invisioncommunity.com/files/file/9599-fresh-new-royal-light-theme/ and others just have a "Write me a PM" text 😉

I see, however, in case I use e.g. Text Input or URL field to force expected input there is no way to format it and wrap the {content} the way we want. You have such option for field display within topic only but not field itself. You already provide custom formatting in many other areas of IPB4. Such option existed in IPB3, no clue why it was removed, custom fields should always be able for custom formatting. Thank you.
