Hi all,
IG -> Actions -> Download -> HTML
After upgrade from 21.1 to 22.2.4 Downloading an HTML Rich Text column appears as code rather than rich text.
When I compare a 21.1 HTML file with a 22.2.4 HTML file, the only difference is that the 22.2 version contains the following strings in the html column (added space to display correctly here):
& lt;
& quot;
& gt;
& #x2F;
Which are the escaped codes for characters
<
"
>
/
This has probably to do with the new Rich Text options in 22.2

I have tried all different combinations of:
- Format (Markdown / HTML)
- Display Rich Text (Y/N)
- Allow Custom HTML (Y/N)
- Strip Rich Text - Excel only (Y/N)
But none of these options downloaded the HTML correctly.
This used to work fine in 21.1 (see last column):

But now displays in 22.2 as:

Any pointers to how to resolve this are greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
