Invalid HTML code added with the [code] element to journal fields (sys_journal_field, sys_history_line) produce entries the display as blank and produce the Angular error Error: [$sanitize:badparse].

1. On UI16+, navigate to Incident > Open and select an incident.

2. Add invalid HTML text using [code] ... [/code] tags to a Work notes field.

   For example, copy the following text and click Update.

   [code]
   <p align="center"style="">Tag attributes have no space between them</p>
   [/code]

   Note – Do not include a space between "center" and "style."

   Note that a blank comment or Work note is added and the JavaScript console displays the following message:

   Error: [$sanitize:badparse] http://errors.angularjs.org/1.4.8/$sanitize/badparse?p0=%3Cp%20align%3D%22center%22style%3D%22%22%3ETag%20attributes%20have%20no%20space%3C/p%3E

   

 

Ensure that the HTML tags that are added using [code]... [/code] are valid on journal fields

Several workarounds are available:

• Instead of using the [code] tag, use the text version or strip the text from the HTML instead.

• Switch to UI15.

• Make the code tag visible by setting the glide.ui.security.allow_codetag system property to false.

• Create scripts to fix the malformed HTML, for example, using regular expressions. The following example applies to the test case:

  --background script -----
  gs.print(addspacesmissingonhtmltags(
      '<a href="https://www.google.com"target="hello"stuff="things" omg="wow">stuff " and things" </a>'
  ));
  
  function addspacesmissingonhtmltags(a) {
      return a.replace(/(\B"\w+[^"]*")/g, "$& ")
  };
  --background script -----

  Result:

  [0:00:00.004] Script completed in scope global: script
  *** Script: <a href="https://www.google.com" target="hello" stuff="things"  omg="wow" >stuff " and things" </a>
