Textarea Macro Parameter Not Rendering HTML Markup

In Umbraco v8, I am inserting a macro into the grid editor.

I am using a macro to embed a hubspot form code into a parameter that is a textarea called embed.

The macro itself just renders the embed code in the parameter like so: @Html.Raw(Model.MacroParameters["embed"])

The output of this is literally printing the html markup that I put into the macro parameter.

If I output just the parameter without Html.Raw then I get the decoded markup printed out. ( & instead of “&”)

When I tested just entering this macro into the RTE, the macro disappears on save.

I was able to do this in previous versions of Umbraco just fine but it seems that I can no longer do this in v8. I posted this on our as well.

@bkclerke the macro parameter value is stored encoded and hence when you use the @Html.Raw(..) it renders the html mark up. As a workaround i tried performing a decode before passing it onto the Raw function and i was able to render the HTML form. Below is the code i used. @Html.Raw(System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(Convert.ToString(Model.MacroParameters["embed"])))

PS:Not a good one, but might able to help you until the bug is resolved.

I couldn’t manage to get the backoffice showing the form render but the webpage shows it right.

Hope this helps.

Thanks @bkclerke - I can reproduce the error. Now to find the cause… 🙈
