I want to add an helper image for a custom field description in WP admin.
I guess that all html tags and attributes are removed before inserting in database due to security.
Is it possible to change this to allow html in description fields in WP-admin?

Hello,

I have tried it in my localhost with a fresh WP installation + the latest version of Toolset plugins, I can save HTML codes into field description option without any problem, for example:

<a href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em>">google</a>
<img src="<em><u>hidden link</u></em>" />

see my screenshot field-desciption.JPG

Please provide detail steps to reproduce the same problem, thanks
