Issue
- When Freemarker code is added to an editable field fragment's HTML section, the Freemarker code is not (always) executed on the published fragment.
Resolution
- It is not possible to execute Freemarker inside editable fields, it is a limitation.
- One workaround to get Freemarker to execute inside an editable field is to create an information template and map it to the editable field. In the information template, the desired logic can be executed using Freemarker and having all the content fields available.
