I’m annoyed with myself to have to ask this here, but I’m having a strange problem in that I can’t edit a simple text field (Next-Gen). Not in the database, not inline from the front either. It’s a simple text field that is referenced to be included in a formula to show other stuff with it in the display field (this text field is thus not the display field), but I can’t change the name. I want it to read “EE>R M&S Conference” but try as I may I can’t change it from what it is now. Same behaviour when I switch back to Classic, I tried that. Ideas?
This is an unfortunate side effect of Knack maintaining backwards compatibility for displaying HTML in text fields as HTML rather than escaping it. In HTML, & represents the start of a character entity reference, and > represents >.
I would suggest reporting this as a bug to Knack. In the meantime, you can get around this by pasting a zero-width space between the & and gt. You can copy it here: https://zerowidthspace.me/
