This worked perfectly for me; no loss of settings:

Same issue after update to 3.0.9, resulting in correctly completed and submitted forms reporting empty required field errors (address in this case, which was not empty). Rollback to 3.0.8 fixed this specific problem, for now.

Additional Information:

I tested and confirmed that attempting to edit and save a form with working HTML in the INSTRUCTIONS Description WILL remove all previously working HTML code from said fields.

I’ve also noticed that some HTML code does remain and continues to work, in Settings/NOTIFICATION/Message. Editing and saving forms with existing code there does not remove it, and received messages contain working HTML code.

Any other experiences related to this out there?
Any recommendations for how to possibly address this?
Matthew Muro, if you read any of these posts, would you please provide some guidance?

I am also having recent issues with HTML in the INSTRUCTIONS Description (HTML tags allowed) field. I’ve used this for years to open a link in a new window (ie – view Rules, Terms or Policies, etc).

I found a form where a previously working link didn’t work, and viewing the form found that the HTML code was simply gone, leaving only the text within >ABC123xyz<. I then reviewed my forms and found that several others were affected in the same way, and no form of HTML code can be saved in the INSTRUCTIONS Description field.
Oddly, a couple of the forms still have working HTML in the INSTRUCTIONS Description, but I haven’t attempted to edit/save for fear this glitch will impact those forms as well.

This HTML code linking to another page with important information is required for my Users, and without the previously functioning HTML code in the INSTRUCTIONS Description (HTML tags allowed) field, these forms are now useless and I’ve had to disable all pages calling them. Major headache – a fix to this recent glitch would be much appreciated!

No luck on having the plugin fixed, even after emailing the creator of VFB directly.

For the time being I’m utilizing an autologin process on the pages containing the offending forms, to a guest account with no real site access nor modification ability. This bypasses the security check and therefore no error. Monitored for a while and tweaked permissions slightly to deal with morons and hackers, but so far so good.

I plan to revamp the use of these forms in the near future, migrating to another provider, so the problem will eventually go away.
