Hey Mahlon,

Appreciate the follow-up. Agreed, those options are unnecessary. I am unable to put together a workaround - I have created at ticket for our development team to take a look at how HTML rendering gets handled in a Text controller.

I'll keep you posted in what I hear back from the team.

That doesn't work in my situation. See my screenshot

Hey Mahlon,

Try using a HTML Editor controller. From my testing it renders the full HTML into bullets.

I tested using:

<ul> <li>test</li> <li>test</li> <li>test</li> <li>test</li> </ul>

Try that and let me know of the outcome.

*edit: wanted to add if you don't want the Users to modify any of the text then set the controller as Disabled

Text boxes don't render HTML correctly

I have a project where I'm developing a quote request form for a website. I'm trying to pull a description from a field in another table and display it in a text box. I'm having difficulty getting the HTML to render correctly.

When I put the data in a Text object, I get these results.

When I put the data in a Text Input object, I get these results

I can hard code a Text object and get the HTML to look OK, but this doesn't work because I need to update the description when the drop-down is changed.

Any suggestions?
