Dear all, While using Billable Time I want to be able making use of formatting (bold, underlined, italic, tabs, new line, etc.). Simple example; I write this line as Billable Time: “Remote Support: Troubleshooting (Name of Engineer); Case: User X called me with issue Y. Result: I did this to fix that and solved.“ However it would be great to have some formatting options as well as making use of new lines. Let’s say I want it to be formatted as follow: “Remote Support: Troubleshooting (Name of Engineer) Case: User X called me with issue Y. Result: I did this to fix that and solved.“ To get this working, I need to enter HTML tags (this editor doens’t allow it, so making use of a quote to illustrate): “Remote Support: Troubleshooting ( Name of Engineer ) Case: User X called me with issue Y. Result: I did this to fix that and solved.“ >>> This is a very cumbersome method and out of date. #ideas Wouldn’t this be a great feature? So we can enrich our work to our customers and provide overview and easyness for us users who are writing it :laughing: . Cheers, Stephan

There is new default HTML theme which does not allow custom HTML being injected through data. This is to resolve issue so that default HTML theme will always work regardless of input. Now, there is a solution. Just like you can already provide your own HTML theme for transaction-type documents, it will be soon possible to provide your own HTML theme for any View screen (including reports etc.) So if you want to relax the rules and allow HTML in your themes, then you can provide your own HTML theme. AI can help you to make it more “relaxed” however you need to be aware of security risks too. If you provide multi-user access, theoretically restricted user could inject into View their malicious script which you can then run without knowing just by merely viewing. At this point this is just theoretical risk, I’m not aware of anyone ever exploiting this but it would be only a matter of time. Anyway, the bottom line. It’s not that this won’t be possible. There will be just extra step to achieve that. Defaults need to be secure. I’m actively working on custom themes so they can be applied to anything viewable in Manager.

Hi, Since the last update (25.5.13.3589) the HTML (inline CSS) script I used in Business Details does not render anymore and anywhere. It was like: [afbeelding] Now only the script as text is rendered: … … … I noticed the same previously with ver. 26.4.27.3171, but only with Bank Reconciliations. Has that possibility somehow been disabled? Thanks, Rox

Default theme no longer supports HTML in fields for security reasons. You can use custom theme which can restore this function if you understand the risks. See: [image] Use custom theme to allow raw HTML in your fields Default theme in the latest version (26.5.10) no longer allows raw HTML in fields. So for example, if you used HTML in your fields like this: [image] Now it will show as: [image] This is for security reasons because in multi-user environment restricted user could potentially inject malicious HTML tags or they could simply insert malformed HTML and ruin the layout. If you want your view screens still support raw HTML, you will need to use custom theme. Either make your own custom theme to…

Thanks @lubos, I will look at it. Rox

Just an FYI. I also had a couple of HTML statements in the business details. The raw theme fixed most things, but my business details still showed the tags on the printed documents instead of bolding the output. I had to remove the tags for now.

These changes are chaos for us, confusing our users and delivering horrible documents to customers. I understand the security and layout conistency thought but it was these nice little easy to use (for non-technical users) like a couple of HTML tags to bold a line or show a link on a view screen that really made manager customizable in a very easy user friendly manner. We seem to be having to become more and more technical or deal with more and more complexity in set-up to make these little features work again and have to scramble to deal with changes/loss of functionality on more and more updates. Please restore HTML in the view forms without having to attach/configure (not that is available yet) a specific custom theme for each screen. It’s problematic. Thank you.

I understand that. Right now - Documents: Fine, I can and have turned on the HTML theme, but now I have to apply that theme per document. View forms - Total mess. No way (as of right now) to turn back on. I really don’t want to have to apply a custom theme view form by view form here. The maintenance complexity is getting silly. How about just a setting somewhere that simply allows a toggle of HTML in view forms on/off and applies across all view forms within the application. This would allow users (administrator users) to allow html if they understand risks without a crazy amount of view form by view form configuration maintenance.?

@lubos, as some (safe) tags are sometimes used all over the Business ( , , , ) from all Inventory Items to all Custom Fields, to descriptions, etc, for now I installed the Raw HTML Theme. However, with or without it installed, since a couple of updates, the description of all Custom Fields is rendered aside the title, not stacked under. Is that also been changed? [afbeelding] [afbeelding]

@lubos Can you eleborate on this matter? It would be great if we got a bit more (WYSIWYG) information in the description field as well as changing it from ‘single line’ to ‘multiple lines’ with formatting (overview what is written). Now I’m using HTML-code to change text with B/I/U(, etc.) or even enters ( ) and a like. Thx

I dont know if it’s a new update bug or what, but my business details’ html code is showing in the frontend on the customer invoice. This was not so before. @lubos @Ealfardan [image]
