Configuration value not saving special characters

When i tried to save

Name 1 <email@address1>

It saved as
Name 1 &lt;email@address1&gt;

which field did this occur in, and which configuration group?

@swguy, any of the Email Options email addresses, Layout Settings separators and indents ... the list goes on.

FWIW, on a couple of upgrade sites, I've added an overriding sanitizer in /admin/extra_datafiles similar to:

Code:

---

$my_sanitizer = AdminRequestSanitizer::getInstance();
$my_sanitizer->addSimpleSanitization('PRODUCT_DESC_REGEX', array('configuration_value'));

---

to work around that issue.

This DOES ring a bell now - is it fixed in 1.5.7?

Nope, it's still present in zc157.

Huh? Still an issue in 1.5.7? What about: https://github.com/zencart/zencart/pull/2267
Which was specifically built to address this issue and was incorporated almost a month ago. (was originally setup to incorporate to ZC 1.5.6.) the update sql for ZC 1.5.7 includes commands that would need to be executed to address/prevent the over sanitization of email addresses.

I'll need to re-run that update SQL, but note that the issue is not limited to email addresses; it's wherever an 'html special character' is required (like in the layout settings).

Try, for example, saving Layout Settings->Bread Crumbs Navigation Separator (default value &nbsp;::&nbsp;); it gets saved as &amp;nbsp;::&amp;nbsp;

Yup, and if there was some guidance on what would be considered "acceptable" in such a field, then more could be done at each of the entries. Email was an easy one to target and correct. Otherwise everything is "cleansed" to the maximum extent.
