[Gelöst] FORMS/CRED: Saving destroys apostrophes in JS (“ / ‚) adds infinite backslashes

Whenever I add JS code within a CRED/FORMS form upon saving there are backslashes added to any apostrophe within the sourcecode. The code breaks and looks weird. This happens on all sites in the newest plugin versions:

Example:

jQuery(\\\\\\\"input[name=\\\\\\\'post_title\\\\\\\']\\\\\\\").limiter(160, elem);

Hi Konstantinos,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Does happen as soon as you save the CRED form ?

Could you send me an example of the code that you are using?

Thanks,
Shane

Yes it happens upon saving, on all servers I use Tolset on. Never seen this before.

<b>Example:</b>

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
  $("select[name='wpcf-anrede'] option[value='']").text('Anrede');   
});

After saving it turns into:

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
  $(\"select[name=\'wpcf-anrede\'] option[value=\'\']\").text(\'Anrede\');   
});

And then into:

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
  $(\\\"select[name=\\\'wpcf-anrede\\\'] option[value=\\\'\\\']\\\").text(\\\'Anrede\\\');   
});

Etc. etc. etc.

Hi Konstantinos,

I was able to replicate the issue and escalated it to our 2nd tier supporters for further debugging.

Thanks,

You are awesome. The fix works like a charm.

Just FYI: The newest Forms Version did not include this fix, had to upload it onto my sites maually again...

It does not work anymore - at least not with the latest Forms version. It is even worse:

The backend shows the code properly but in the source the code is still broken.
