When creating web content there is no guarantee that an instance of CKEditor exists. Therefore the value of "CKEDITOR.instances" may not be defined and a reference error is returned.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Start an instance of 7.1.

2.  Create web content Structure in "Global" site without a rich text field (name: "plain-text-web-content") using provided attribute source code (below):

{
    "availableLanguageIds": [
        "en_US"
    ],
    "defaultLanguageId": "en_US",
    "fields": [
        {
            "label": {
                "en_US": "Plain Text Content"
            },
            "predefinedValue": {
                "en_US": ""
            },
            "style": {
                "en_US": ""
            },
            "tip": {
                "en_US": ""
            },
            "dataType": "string",
            "indexType": "text",
            "localizable": true,
            "name": "plainTextContent",
            "readOnly": false,
            "repeatable": false,
            "required": false,
            "showLabel": true,
            "type": "textarea"
        }
    ]
}

3. Create a template using this structure, with the template having only the plain text field (it should read as: ${plainTextContent.getData()})

4. Create a web content using this template.

5. Check the Chrome console.

 

Expected Result: No errors.

Actual Result: ReferenceError: CKEDITOR is not defined is thrown.
