HI, 

Looking for some help, we are using richTextFieldWithTables plugin 

 to show HTML data inside an interface, this richTextFieldWithTables is inside a cardLayout as the section may repeat multiple times.

Production users complained that the application is not showing completed data, it is appearing like below for them, please observe last word “Thanks”.

 In Dev environment it is working correctly, if anyone has faced similar issue or knows any steps to troubleshoot this it would be very helpful.

I have already looked into online troubleshoot steps and everything looks fine as per it.

This issue seems to be with the plugin’s HTML parsing capability, there was <p><span></span></p> added in the HTML and that was causing this issue, it is strange that same plug was used to create the HTML but when it comes to show the content in read-only mode then the plugin is not able to parse self generated HTML.

Correction, <p><span></span></p> was added to HTML because user copy pasted data from another application to Appian interface.

Strip empty <p><span></span></p> tags via regex before saving, they break the plugin's HTML parser and truncate rendering.

Suggest you to replace the plugin with Styled Text Editor Component
