Adding custom WYIWYG message field

I wanted a field like the “message” field but with a WYSIWYG editor instead of the simple textarea. I was able to add it using the wysiwyg type however the editor doesn’t get initialized when it is added to the field group.

I’m able to load javascript on the backend but I can’t, for the life of me, figure out how to initialize the editor on load (there doesn’t seem to be a render_field action for the field groups admin page?).

What’s interesting is that if I add my custom field to the group, save the field group, and reload, the field is initialized as intended.

Any ideas?
