Custom work item large html type not working


James Cheung (671116) | asked Jun 01 '15, 8:36 p.m.
 Hi all,

A custom field with type 'Large HTML' used to work in v4 to display a table. Now, RTC is upgraded to 5.0.2. The html type is behaving like a string field. 

Any idea how to fix it?

My issue is very similar to this. I followed the hint to check the attribute warning/error, but found nothing.

My issue is exactly this one.

https://jazz.net/forum/questions/175028/after-upgrading-rtc-from-v3012-to-v502-html-tags-are-showing-up-on-one-of-the-large-string-fields

Please help.

Best regards,
James

what version did you use in v4.x which worked for you?
how was the table created in v4.x?
if you create a new Large HTML custom attribute in 5.0.2, do you see the similar result as the one upgraded from v4.x or not?
have you tried on different browser or not?

I would consider to go to the editor presentation and check that. Are there different modes available? Maybe changing, saving, changing back helps?

Hi Don, thanks a lot for your help.


1. It was working on RTC 4.0.6 until we upgraded to 5.0.2;
2. The HTML table in that attribute is being created and populated by a Java program. I am not the developer for it;
3. I tried to change the attribute from large HTML to small HTML, but the issue is the same;
4. I tried Chrome and Eclipse client, same issue;

 
Hi Ralph,
I went to the editor presentation, but not sure about different mode. I did the change and save.


Thanks all.
James

Hi Ralph,


I am trying to isolate our java code from the issue here. Hence, I used your WCL 2.2 to update the field. 

wcl -update projectArea="EIS" repository="https://xxx.xxx.xxx/ccm1" password="xxx" user="xxx" workItemType=EIS_RI /ignoreErrors id="215096" EisActiveEnvironment:set="<i><b>James Test</b></i>"

It works!!! The attribute can be shown as italic and bold now. 

The reason I used above as test is because there is no double quote within the EisActiveEnvironment:set. I found great issue to escape double quote in DOS command.

Do you know of any syntax I can try?

I tried these with "" or ^" to escape the double quote, i.e. <table border=""1"">

Sorry this is more on DOS command question.

May be I should ask a question about the HTML table support in an Large HTML attribute. Does it support HTML table in 5.0.2? I pretty use it worked in 4.0.6.

In 5.0.2 I was able to use my work item commandline to create a table in a large HTML attribute.
Please note that the UI does not allow to add the tags for a table manually.

I used \ to escape the " after looking it up in the internet. I also did not escape it at all.



Not sure if this does what you want or if border is supported. I was unable to see a border.

Thanks Ralph,


I also followed Don's suggestion to create a new HTML attribute, then test with WCL. I got the same issue. When I ran a restful query to see the content of the attribute, I found that RTC removed all of the HTML tag.

<rtc_cm:EisActiveEnvironmentNew>Table headerTable headerTable cell 1Table cell 2Table cell 3Table cell 4</rtc_cm:EisActiveEnvironmentNew>

Would you please elaborate more on the Editor Presentation that I should have checked?

I wish I could have posted screenshot here about my Editor Presentation setup.

Best regards,
James

Hi Ralph,


Would you please do me a favor to run a test on your environment with your WCL to update a HTML attribute.

wcl -update EisActiveEnvironmentNew:set="<font color=\"red\">This is some text!</font>"

Do you see the red color text? I don't on my environment. 

Best regards,
James
