Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Problem in moving values into Richtext widget from another form

Don't set the value like that. You need a richtext datastructure.

Something like this

-edit_request {
set description [template::util::richtext::create $content $mime_type]
}

Where mime type can be whatever it was created as. Text/enhanced text/plain text/html

Usually the mime type should be stored in the database.
