Issue
- An embedded video (iframe) and other HTML elements within a Rich Text field of an Object are not persisting after saving a new entry.
Resolution
- This is an expected behavior due to the AntiSamy sanitizer. This tool will remove all iFrame and potentially malicious content.
- This doesn't happen for Web Contents or Blogs since they are whitelisted.
- If you would like to whitelist your Object entries as well, you can add
com.liferay.object.model.ObjectDefinition to the AntiSamy whitelist located on: Control Panel → System Settings → Security Tools → AntiSamy Sanitizer
