lookup into another form takes into consideration html formatting

lookup into another form takes into consideration html formatting

Hi,

Am two minded if this is an issue....it is for me but maybe this is so by design:

Form A has lookup field (hello) from Form B

Form B has the hello field with an entry wrapped in HTML as such

<span style=color: red;">[WORLD]</span> (the word WORLD in RED)

If fetch Form A and write the same HTML
<span style=color: green;">[WORLD]</span> (the word WORLD in GREEN)

Result....nothing shows in Form A

Conclusion, From A lookup is not displaying anything in the hello field because this exact string does not exist in form B

BUT

one could say that this is HTML formatting why is not being checked ?

Any feedback on what a lookup is really looking at is this a design or issue ?

thanks
