Escaping " character in custom productfield not correctly shown in PIM

Hi!

I have a custom made product field, with some extra validation and an extra error message.

This field can hold anything, but mainly test with the occasional double quotes ("), like this:

DW will not show anything after the quotes in the PIM

In the Render method of the ProductFieldTypeProvider, the value gets escaped:
The 'control' object has the correct value for Value.

Inspecting the element in PIM removes the escape, see value parameter.

Is there something Im missing in the Render method?

Thanks in advance,
Barend Mosch, Bluedesk

I found a fix by making the quote an entity

Is it possible to integrate this in core DW?

Hi Barend

You should html encode the value instead - that will also handle other scenarios of e.g. <, >, # and other ugly stuff.

I think it could cause ohter undesired issues doing this by default.
