Since I cannot reopen my last thread I had to put up a new one:

https://toolset.com/forums/topic/forms-cred-saving-destroys-apostrophes-in-js-adds-infinite-backslashes/#post-1081346

Unfortunately the latest Forms version did not include the fix provided. And furthermor the fix and this version make it even worse. The backend shows the code properly but in the source it is messed up like before. All those backslashes are added again! 🙁

Thanks in advace!

Hi Konstantin,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

I've checked and see that this was reported again by another supporter.

Currently i'm following this internal issue and will post any new information as I get it.

Hi Konstantin,

I took another look at this for you and the patch actually works.

What you need to do is to remove the backslashes then apply the patch. This should cause it to start working.

Thanks,
Shane
