Hi @Dillon-Brown! HTML fields are not stored in db by default? Or it has relation with this bug?

Bump...
Has this been resolved? I see it is still open status.

Html fields are designed just to show pre defined html, not to be editable. If you need a html field you would use a text area and set it be html, which may not yet been achieved through studio as yet

Html fields are to show html. The are showing the string value of the html, not the html itself. The literal string is being shown on version 7.9.9 Before there was nothing being shown on Edit and DetailViews. The update now shows the literal string representation of the fields html. Studio shows the HTML in the edit of the field as the display value of the HTML like you would in a web browser. Bryan Allen
