How to apply paragraph spacing to CMS content?

I am trying out the CMS content for the first time, as I create a Figma site. There appears to be an issue with paragraph spacing not applying as it should.

Paragraphs (a single ‘return’) in text that uses my Body style in a Rich Text field aren’t displaying any paragraph space, despite paragraph spacing of (for example) 16 being defined in the Body text style. I tried defining the space value on all breakpoints, too. No luck.

But if I add a forced line break (shift-enter), which should ‘not’ add paragraph spacing, it adds the paragraph spacing! This looks like a bug, and prevents me from adding correct spacing in many contexts. I am also not able to apply correct spacing to lists etc.

Is this a known issue, or am I doing something wrong?

Hi ​@slgcm, thanks for reaching out and apologies for the delayed reply! 

Yes, this is a known issue and limitation at this time. Paragraph spacing isn’t currently supported for rich text during the CMS beta.

The team is already working on improving this capability in the future, and we’ve also noted this limitation in our Help Center article here: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/36165352090775-Work-with-rich-text-fields-in-CMS#h_01KAD8HWHEQT9VQQZNG3Z0DXG5
