Craft 3 Upgrade having issues with rich text editor

Question

I know that Craft3 now requires Redactor or CKEditor plugins to handle rich text editing, however after installing the Redactor plugin through the store, I am getting this error in the 'Body'. The title and everything else works, just the body gets the error:

Unable to find component class 'RedactorI'.

Simple.json

{
  "buttons": ["bold", "italic"]
}

Standard.json

{
  "formatting": ["h2","h3","h4","h5","p", "blockquote"],
  "buttons": ["html","formatting","alignment","bold","italic","unorderedlist","orderedlist","link","file","image","video","table"],
  "plugins": ["fullscreen","video","table"],
  "toolbarFixed": true
}

I've checked my craft/config/redactor simple and standard JSON files and they're properly formatted.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Solved it by installing the Redactor plugin, going through admin/settings/fields on the admin page and changing the field types dropdown from Plain Text to Redactor.
