Editor removes span IDs

Dear,

For some reason the Power Pages Editor (and also the Portal Editor) removes my span ID tags...

this

<p>Number of products <span id="numberofproducts"></span></p>

becomes

<p>Number of products <span></span></p>

after editing other parts of the page in the editor...

In the Portal Management (model driven) app, it is not changed...

I use these span IDs to update the values using jquery...

Any idea why it is doing so?

Hi, are you using Visual Studio Code Web to make the changes?

I just tried here now and didn't have any issues.. I remember having issues with the old Portal editor but not the new Power Pages one

No, I edited the page in the portal management app, cleared the cache, previewed the site which was working fine. Then I switch to the power pages (WYSIWYG) editor, to just change some other parts of the page, previewed the site and noticed that all IDs (of multiple spans) were gone and therefore braking my code...

Thanks, I will try that later. Does this mean it is a known (and documented) bug?

I just followed these steps and still wasn't able to replicate

I would suggest opening a ticket to Microsoft in case this happens again

I remember having this issue in the past, but I believe this was fixed ages ago, so you shouldn't be facing it now

It seems that my portal has more related problems. The portal editor and power page editor behave strange, and I start thinking it has something to do with the languages I have added, it has EN-US and NL-BE, where NL-BE is the default. But somehow the editor always changes the EN-US templates and pages, messes up the Web Link Sets,...
Can I somehow reset the portal without losing all my customizations, hoping that the reset will solve all these problems?

That's an interesting issue. I will create a new Portals with multi-language enabled where English is not the default one and try to replicate that.

There is a way to restart the Portals without losing customizations, you can go in the admin centre via New tab (powerplatform.com)

Select your environment, click on manage resources on your Website

And then click Restart. This will restart the Azure resources.
