Possibility to have html content in the results/Process Outpur of a curation task

[fribeiro-fccn]

We have some custom curation tasks in DSpace 5 that we create a link to the item(s) we want to modify. The figure below shows an example of a curation task with links to items. This facilitates the user to access the document by clicking on it:

In DSpace 7 the process output strips all the html content and only shows plain text (See below):

In both cases we use the StringBuilder to construct the output, example:
...
res.append("<a href="http://hdl.handle.net/");
res.append(handle);
res.append("" target="_blank">");

But in DSpace 7 the html is stripped (see the previous image) and I think is the angular part where the data is processed.

Thanks for reporting this. Since it existed in prior releases, I'll re-label this as a bug & pull it over to our 7.6 board to see if we can locate a volunteer. I suspect this may need to be implemented in the Angular UI because Angular itself will auto-remove any "dangerous-seeming" HTML out of data...this is for safety/security (protection against XSS attacks and similar). That's likely the behavior you've noticed.

Nonetheless...I think this should be possible. Just requires a volunteer to help investigate the best way to give this output a better HTML display, including hyperlinks.
