Validation error on RichText fields

[Ortimis]

Thank you for sharing your script, it works like a charm! However I stumbled upon an validation error with RichText fields when uploading posts to contentful which I could not solve and for which I am unable to find any documentation of. Maybe someone knows more?

(The value of the body and excerpt are in all cases not simple strings as in this example but transformed markdown from wordpress posts from the output of this script) Thank you!

Thanks for the detailed issue, @Ortimis. I haven't worked with the RichText field type much, but this would definitely be a useful addition. I will take a look next chance I get. If you've already found a workaround, feel free to open a PR!

@Ortimis Contenful provides a markdown to rich text npm package to create the nodeTypes needed for the Rich Text content type. I also realize this is years old but posting for others in case it's needed.
