The attributes information will stay in the data (create xml export with data there still is things like &uB &uU &uI)
With an editbox you'll never see it and just 1 update in the field will lose the attributes information.

This isn't a Unifield - it is an editbox

I tested here using 9.7.05-058: Underline , bold , italic in Unifield work only when using data type string.

We recently noticed that our RAW DATA field that used to support bold, italics and underlining in Uniface 9.7.04 does not work in Uniface 9.7.05. I know this version is no longer supported, but I was wondering if anyone else has seen this.
I made a simple test:
$keyboard = "MSWINX"
edit
Then I put two fields on the form: The first one is Raw Data, SR* (like we had in our application) and the second one is just a sc*.
If I type a field, and then select it and tryin Gold^B, Gold^I or Gold^U, nothing happens in either field.
I don't have a problem going forward with Uniface Rich Text Field. My concern is what to do with the data my customers already have in the old format.
Thanks for any input.
