Using Designer 2020.3.
Workflows containing htmlpassthrough in PCXML which use to work (in 2019.1) now return blanks for me. All forum examples of htmlpassthrough also do not work.

I can't even get something as simple as this to work:
<htmlpassthrough>
<![CDATA[
<html>
<p>Hello World</p>
</html>
]]>
</htmlpassthrough>

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

I've found that if you turn off the Validate PCXML then it will render correctly into a temporary HTML file.

For the trivial case:

<p>Hello World</p>

renders correctly in both.

Does seem to be an issue in newer versions (the validate issue has been around for a couple of versions).

Thanks, this was driving me mad why some of my workflows didn't work upon upgrade.

Actually, one thing is still a bit buggy if you might have an idea @jdunkerley79 , if I try and use that text object as the body of an email, it still returns blank.

Seems to have been brought up prior in this comment here:
