  Hey, you need to add the editor property in your payload 2.0 config.

  
  
  

  Check out the migration guide here:

  https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/releases/tag/v2.0.0
  
  

  As well as

  
  https://payloadcms.com/docs/rich-text/overview
  

  
  

  How did you create the project? create-payload-app should automatically fill in the editor property for new projects

  when did you use the command? Maybe you ran it before the 2.0 release, and then installed payload post-2.0.

  
  
  

  If you haven't done any work yet, re-running the command should be the easiest solution for you

  This is quite misleading to suggest the use of

  npx create-payload-app project-name

  😦

  
  
  

  The

  'installer"

  should create all this for us,

  shouldn't it?

  🤔

  I've just run npx create-payload-app and receiving the same error:

  
  

  05:39:29] ERROR (payload): There were 1 errors validating your Payload config
  [05:39:29] ERROR (payload): 1: "editor" is required

  
  

  
  

  The docs recommend npx create-payload-app

  
  https://payloadcms.com/docs/getting-started/installation
  

  
  

  How do I add an editor?

  @taun2160 @jjaimealeman it should do it automatically for you - I'm not sure why it doesn't.

  
  
  

  This might help:

  
  
  npx create-payload-app@latest project-name
