[BECAUSE it is invalid HTML, use escaped character] Import accepts > and = but not <

Hi,

I use the Import function a lot.
In one the of the fields I imported, the input was like "short film (< 30 min)", "long film (>= 60 min)" etc.
For some reason I ignore and I don't understand, I discovered that the characters > and = were doing fine... but that the character < would cause a problem :
the < itself and all the rest of the string would simply be scrapped.

(I noticed this while importing, but I think it is the same if you edit the value of a field manually)

My need was urgent, so I found a workaround (using &amp;#60; in my csv file, instead of <).
But I thought it could be useful to share this...

Txs,

Marc

Hello

that is done by the save operation that is removing invalid HTML

please remember that the description accepts HTML and:
< 30

is invalid HTML
valid HTML is:

&amp;#60; 30

Hello

also there is no simple / safe way for the import task to identify what is "HTML" and what is mean ... not to be HTML !

Thanks Georgios,

So, this was not a bug, but a feature
Anyway, I had found the workaround/solution with the & #60; or & lt;
But I was puzzled since > was accepted and not < ...

Txs for the reply & see you soon,

Marc
