Hi support,
Yes now it shows the html attribute, but the text is blurry, it not respects the font size that I choose.

"James" is a plain Text attribute => this is sharp and clear
"dfgdfgd...." is an html attribute => this is not clear, it's bluryy

here is a video alsowhere you can see the result:

You can reproduce it with same bsv attached in the post from above.

thank you

Unfortunately this is a confirmed bug, but not able to be fixed yet (possible library bug).
Without this fixed, html attributes inside Reports are useless 🙁

Any update on this George? Does it work now?

(This is one of the major benefits we're hoping to get out of 8.1 upgrade)

No, this was not fixed as I know(latest bulid 2467). Vlad said at that time (when I've opened this post)that is not easy to fix.
Indeed this is very important to use in reports.
As a workaround I use JasperServer Reports, as Bruce teached us on his great webminars(not implemented yet the node.js funcionality to save, email a JasperReport, but Bruce posted on the forum the implentation )

RLJB

Thanks George, I'm really hoping for Support to provide a solution, rather than adding more moving parts with JasperServer.

Support: for us, this would be a much higher priority for 8.2 than some of the other mentioned new functions (like the form designer).

LOL. The "Form Designer"
Is that the ability to import HTML when creating a new BO Form?

At the upcoming conference, I'd LOVE to see a demo of an app that used even ONE screen like this.
There's going to be plenty of show and tell - plus featured demos.
I wonder if any of those folk have ever used this?

RLJB

To be far... after I diced it in 2018 we actually DID go forward and use it for about 3 years for one form for one client, it suited a client need at the time to have a high stylised form exposed on the web. We only recently retired it.

Jaymer

Do you have an image of that screen?

RLJB

no it's client confidential - was super nice looking though

The problem with blurriness should be fixed in the next build
