Using Rich text field to populate SEO meta data description

Hello, I’m have a collection set up for artists, each artist has a bio which needs to be rich text in order to have embeded links and paragraph breaks. I would like to use the artist bio rich text field to populate the SEO meta data description. For some reason when I go to add the field, the artist bio doesn’t appear.

Is this a feature which is missing or am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

A text field area like inserting custom code into a meta description does not support Rich Text. So you are forced to create a duplicate field for your needs.

Thanks Jeff,

This kinda sucks though, it’s going to make more work for the client, I don’t understand why a rich text field couldn’t just strip out any formatting and populate the first 200-300 characters of the meta data.

Thanks for your response.
