Issue returning html in form

[revilo951]

Describe the problem/error/question

Before the recent updates that sanitize HTML in form nodes, I was using a custom HTML form field to return some data to the user from the workflow using a HTML table. This is now broken, even with HTML that doesn’t contain <script>, <style> or <input> tags

What is the error message (if any)? N/A

Share the output returned by the last node

This is what my Code node generates for the HTML:

[
  {
    "tableHTML": "\n    <h2>Sheets needed for Job 123456 - Test Job</h2>\n    <br>\n    <table>\n      <tr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\">\n        <th>Code</th>\n        <th>Description</th>\n        <th>Quantity</th>\n        <th>Stock</th>\n      </tr>\n  \n      <tr>\n        <td>SM10AL3012</td>\n        <td>Sheet Metal 1.0mm Aluminium 3050 x 1200</td>\n        <td>2.4</td>\n        <td>50</td>\n      </tr>\n    \n      <tr>\n        <td>SM20GL3012</td>\n        <td>Sheet Metal 2.0mm Galv 3050 x 1200</td>\n        <td>0.1</td>\n        <td>-24.8</td>\n      </tr>\n    </table>"
  }
]

hello @revilo951

you can render html in the Next Form Page node

[revilo951]

I’m trying that, however it’s not rendering the html table I’m giving it. It used to, before the last couple updates. Here’s a sample of HTML I’m trying to render:

<table>\n\n  <tr>\n    <td>SM10AL3012</td>\n    <td>Sheet Metal 1.0mm Aluminium 3050 x 1200</td>\n    <td>2.4</td>\n    <td>20.92</td>\n  </tr>\n\n  <tr>\n    <td>SM20GL3012</td>\n    <td>Sheet Metal 2.0mm Galv 3050 x 1200</td>\n    <td>0.1</td>\n    <td>44.6</td>\n  </tr>\n\n</table>

It doesn’t render a table at all, just puts all the text onto one line.

Seems table property isn’t supported…

However, list is working.

List:
<ul><b>Entry One</b>
  <li>SM10AL3012</li>
  <li>Sheet Metal 1.0mm Aluminium 3050 x 1200</li>
  <li>2.4</li>
  <li>20.92</li>
</ul><br><br>

<ol><b>Entry Two</b>
  <li>SM20GL3012</li>
  <li>Sheet Metal 2.0mm Galv 3050 x 1200</li>
  <li>0.1</li>
  <li>44.6</li>
</ol><br><br>

Yes, it’s a shame. I’ve had to push the data to an external system to display it to the user. Hopefully they can fix it soon!
