I do think the ability to add definitions for custom fields is a good
candidate for something that should be possible via wikitext.
I would encourage you to open an issue Tony.
For the time being you could:
- not use the edit toolbar, which will default the editor to not using the
framed editor
- OR if you just need to set up a field or two, we can help you with the
JavaScript to do so.
Cheers,
Saq
