    Comments field in Activities

    I’ve noticed that when I add comments to an activity and check the HTML of the field a <p> tag is added, however if I copy and paste text there is no tag.

    If comments are added using a Mac again there are no tags added.

    This is causing some consistency issues with grid displays. Has anyone come across this before?

    Hey Andy,

    When a copy and paste takes place some amount of formatting will be carried over, and Method will try to translate that into HTML.

    The best practice is to click on on the  button to do a Plain Text paste. Alternatively, on a Mac you can paste and match formatting by using the keyboard shortcut command+option+shift+V.

    I tested both of these methods and they produced html with a <p> and <br /> tags. Hope that helps.
