Portal Comments with '&' becomes '&'

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by JonahPincetich 63

I'm having an issue with the Portal displaying Portal Comments with an '&' in them.

 

My Portal Comment object in dynamics 365 has a description like so:

http://contoso.com/username=Jonah&password=HelloWorld&Location=USA

 

But when this description is displayed in the Portal it is displayed like this:

http://contoso.com/username=Jonah&password=HelloWorld&Location=USA

 

I know that '&' is used to display the '&' in HTML but the portal isn't displaying it as such and thus breaks the links in the comments.

 

How do I go about preventing this from happening or at least parsing out the 'amp;'?

    It sounds more like a bug. Can you contact Microsoft support? I am afraid there is not much we can do if it's happening as you explained.

    Suggest to raise a ticket to Microsoft Support, it could be a product issue.

    Yes this is a bug. Portal team will fix this in next release.

     

    Meanwhile you can try adding custom javascript on document.ready or Add comment button click to decodeURIComponent for the innerhtml of elements with class note. This is just a temporary workaround though.
