Import source code into Rich Text Field (HubDB)

I am working on an import file for a HubDB table and one of the columns is a rich text field. However, the content I need to import for that column is html code. Is there a way to import it as the “source code” for the rich text field? Importing as is displays the html as the text instead of the rendered html. I could manually copy/paste the source code for each entry in HubDB after the import but that’s going to be time consuming (140 rows). I was hoping to utilize the import process.

Thanks,

Terry

@tmcmillan99 - An interesting challenge! When you say “Importing as is displays the html as the text instead of the rendered html.” can you be more specific about what you are using to display this?

I wonder if the HTML is correctly stored in the table via the import process, whether you can use a custom module or similar to check that it can be rendered correctly in he context of a page.

@SteveHTM Thanks for the reply. I will be using hubl to pull the data form HubDB to display on a website page. Let me retest to the import to make sure I’m not mistaken.

@SteveHTM False alarm. Lol. Not sure why but this import worked correctly. The rendered html is displaying correctly for that field in HubDB. Not sure why it didn’t work the first time I tried it. I think I’m good now and will finalize the import with the rest of the data.
