Magento 2 - Product description input type

Hi, In this article, I want to share my experience with Magento 2 description input type for products.

After upgrading to Magento 2.4.5-p1 from 2.4.2-p1, the description input type changed from TextEditor to PageBuilder. Because system admins are used to TextEditor, I wanted to change it back to TextEditor.

At first, I changed the type from Store -> Product (Attribute), but I was facing this error Input type "texteditor" not found in the input types list*. Also, there is a note when you change the type to Text Editor, and it says you must ensure that WYSIWYG is enabled in Store -> Configuration -> General -> Content Management*. I checked multiple times, and it was enabled, but nothing changed, even after disabling and enabling it again.

Finally, I found the solution by going to the database, and I found that in the catalog_eav_attribute table, there's a column named is_pagebuilder_enabled , and its value was 1. I changed it to 0, and it solved the issue.

After that, for curiosity, I tried to change the attribute type to Page Builder from the edit screen in Magento that I mentioned before, but even that was not possible, and I got Input type "pagebuilder" not found in the input types list. So if you want to change the attribute type to Page Builder, you need to change is_pagebuilder_enabled the value for the description attribute catalog_eav_attribute to 1.
