Issue
- After upgrading to 2024.Q4, HTML markup found in the Text field within structures is no longer being escaped properly
- The HTML markup is showing up as plain text
Resolution
- This is the intended behavior for the Text field in structures
- The Text field is designed to hold only text and no markup or code.
- This change in the function of a Text field was made in order to make the Text field more secure
- In order to display HTML markup within a structure, the Rich Text field should be used instead.
