RAW PCXML html format tag is not working on version 2020

Hello guys, 

I currently have report text tool which uses expert mode PCXML

I have tags that some html tags on it. 

<htmlpassthrough>
<![CDATA[

<ul style="list-style-type:disc">

<li></li>

</ul>

]]>
</htmlpassthrough>

 

 

The output is showing as expected. everything is smooth but when I run the workflow on the latest version 2020 it doesn't work. no error neither. The workflow was made from version 2019.

hey @Ultralightbeam 

I can't see from your flow what is happening - but we've had to debug a bit of this kind of custom coding over time, and have found that the best way to debug it is:

a) put a browse tool after the reporting tools to see if the PCXML is coming through correctly formatted or not

b) use an HTML output from a render tool to see what's going on.

 

One of the things that we found is that depending on how you put the htmlpassthrough and CDATA into the canvas - you do sometimes get a corrupted canvas because Alteryx reads this passthrough as part of the XML rather than as static text in the flow.

@SeanAdams I have fixed this by unchecking the validation on PCXML. Thanks
