We recently upgraded to Australia and have noticed the Special Handling Notes are now appearing incorrectly as html instead of the rich text format as expected and as it worked previously.
I created a new SHN to verify if maybe previous ones were just not converted, but still get the tags.
Here's what it should contain:
Entry Restriction:
- Clearance for space access required
- This is a test record
View the attached image for what is current popup.
I noticed if it's a simple sentence, it appears correctly, but when i do formatting or adding any bullets, it appears with html tags.
Where do i go to verify or is this something we need to contact Support with?

If it was working fine earlier before upgrade, then looks like upgrade issue

Hi Mike,
We have the same issue after Australia upgrade on Special Handling Notes. But repairing the plugins did not help. Did you find a resolution here?
Thanks & Regards,
