Problem description
Creating an HTML email using HTML stored in a database by using “Set Value” steps.
However, when adding the various sections (HTML snippets) in the editor I select the format as HTML but it keeps reverting to Text so all the HTML code gets changed as escaped characters are added e.g.
div class="col num12"
becomes
div class=\"col num12\"
and spaces are removed etc.
If I change the editor back to HTML it displays correctly but when I save and leave, it gets reverted back to Text.
Steps to reproduce
-
Add a Set Value step and check the Output box to test.
-
Add some HTML code, edit the value (little pencil icon), select HTML (top right) and enter some HTML.
-
Save the Server Data Content window.
-
The Value appears correct in the properties window but when opening the API in the code editor, the HTML has been changed e.g.
<div class="col num12"></div>
becomes
<div class=\"col num12\"></div> -
Run the API in Postman and the output of the Set Value appears with the escaped characters.
This breaks the final HTML output so it doesn’t display correctly.

NOTE - if I go back into that screen after saving, Text type is displayed (not HTML)
