    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?

    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

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

    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.
