Placeholder with multiline pyLabel does not display RTE

SA-65208

Summary



A localized placeholder, for a field containing a new line in the Description, does not display the Rich Text Editor (RTE) control.


Error Messages



Not Applicable


Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a section with a Rich Text editor.
  2. Create a placeholder with multiple lines.


Root Cause



While debugging, the below line caused the issue,

File Name: pzpega_control_richtexteditor.js

Function Name: p.c.IRTE.prototype.init

Code Line: var rteConfigObj = pega.control.eventParser.parseJSON(rteConfigs);

The console error is expected as rteConfigs (placeholder has \n) has a new line character and parseJSON displays the exception. 

As a result, the next function call to generate the RTE does not occur and RTE does not render.


Resolution



Perform the following local-change, when the RTE placeholder contains HTML because it is set as the content of RTE Editable:
  1. Change the multiline field value to a single line field value.
  2. Add <br/> for next line text.
