I have a custom component of which, one function is to send out messages to select users. I want JCE to use the site template in the editor virtually everywhere but in the Joomla standard editor field for my email form. Is there any way to configure a single form field (type="editor") to use JCE without reference to any external CSS/Template so the HTML in the email is self-contained and not dependent on Bootstrap or on an external CSS file?

I have read some simply force the tinymce editor for this which may be my work around.

But no way to do it by a specific view within the component, nor a way to force a profile in the standard Joomla form field of type editor, correct?

That sounds like what I was looking for. I solved my issue by using tinymce for this one editor. This is a new system and our business is seasonal and about to start. I'll be able to test it in a few months.

I was thinking it would be nice to be able to specify it in the editor parameter of the editor field type.

editor specifies the editor to be used and can include two options. (editor="desired|alternative")

Yes. I was not sure if it could be used/repurposed for this like making the alternative editor the profile to use or something.
