Text format field missing for minimal installation I installed minimal version of latest stable Drupal 8. It does not include any HTML text formats so I had to add my own custom Full HTML text format next to default Plain Text.

It also doesn't include any content types, so I had to create my own Basic page content type with Body field.

When adding/editing content under body field it doesn't show the Text format field drop-down and I cannot select neither out of two formats, it just loads up some default CKEditor.



Also with minimal installation it doesn't include Administrator role. So I did create my own custom Administrator role and gave it all permissions, including under Filter, but still no effect, even though I'm user/1.

How do I get Text format working/displaying on Minimal installation?
Look in the standard profile:

core/profiles/standard/config/install


In comparision the minimal is rather empty:

core/profiles/minimal/config/install


You can take this yml-file for the text format, put it in the sync-folder and import it:

core/profiles/standard/config/install/filter.format.full_html.yml


But probably you need much more configuration, did you consider to start over with the standard profile?
