Current versions are:
APEX 24.1.9
FOEX 22.2.0.2
There is an issue with displaying escaped characters in LOV. Here is a simple example.

This displays like this ( * horizontal scroll bar added automatically to display additional text )

The desired result is as follows.

In APEX the option to escape or unescape special characters is available from the security attributes for a page item.

Is there an additional JSON config we can add to achieve this in FOEX?
