Hello,

After the last update, every Toolset form adds a backslash before every apostrophe in the form fields after saving.

Can you please check and fix it, if it's on your side indeed?

Thank you

Hello and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I was able to reproduce this issue with a single-line field. Does this happen for another type of field too?

In the meantime, I'll escalate this single line field issue to our 2nd Tier, and will get back to you as soon as possible.

Hi Jamal,

I teste it on a textarea and it seems to be working fine. So the issue is only with a single line field.

Thanks.

Hello again!

We have published a new version of Toolset plugins today. They contain the fix for this issue. Please make a full backup before trying it on your live site. I recommend that you test it on a staging site first.

Let me know what you will get.
