Hi Michael, the XSS Filter may need to be disabled. See the ptc doc info below.

Title

Workflow task instructions containing HTML tags are not rendered correctly in Windchill PDMLink 10.1

Description

· Workflow task instructions containing HTML tags are not rendered correctly
· Anchor tags are malformed
· Certain types of tags such as the image tag are no longer present

Applies To

· Windchill PDMLink 10.1 F000, M010, M020, M030

Cause

· Unsupported HTML tags are filtered to prevent XSS attacks

Resolution

· Reported to R&D as SPR 2164452
· Corrected in Windchill PDMLink 10.1 M040
· To prevent filtering of HTML tags set wt.workflow.disableXssFilter=true in wt.properties
· Disabling the XSS filter is potentially risky
· As an alternative use only supported HTML tags
· See CS116197<">https://www.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS116197> for a list of supported HTML tags

Steve,
Yes, I saw that document. So I added the disableXssFilter setting, and now the tag shows correctly in the task information page, but the http address in the tag is being truncated. I’m trying to provide a link to a document stored in the Windchill system (10.1 M030) for reference when they perform the task.
