HTML tags are visible using dynamic values to load WooCommerce Short Description field into Paragraph block

Fixed Bugs

Description:

When using the dynamic values feature to load the Short Description WooCommerce field, it shows the HTML tags rather than formatting with them.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions:

  1. Add a Product in WooCommerce
  2. Add a Short Description containing formatting (e.g. bold, italic, etc)
  3. Create a Template with a Query that shows this Product
  4. Add a Paragraph block into the Query template
  5. Dynamically load the Short Description into it using the Dynamic values
  6. Notice the tags are shown.

Hi @StrangeTech,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

I can confirm that HTML tags are visible on the backend, when the dynamic Woo Short Description is placed within a Query block.

Rest assured, this will be fixed as soon as possible.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Hi @Araminta,

As a follow up, we have observed that the contents of the field are wrapped in a p tag, meaning if you dynamically insert this into a Paragraph block, it creates empty p tags before and after the content. Changing the Paragraph block’s html tag to div works as a temporary workaround for now.

Hello @StrangeTech,

This is an expected behaviour, and the recommend workaround.

Cheers,
