Please watch this tutorial as it explains how to prevent list view items from being escaped.

Here is a little code snipped I used to achieve the same

if ([[[Component]]]Helper::checkArray($items))
{
	if (!isset($_export) || !$_export)
	{
		// time switches
		$danger = JFactory::getDate()->modify(JComponentHelper::getParams('com_jobtracking')->get('danger_time', '-3 week'))->toUnix();
		$warning = JFactory::getDate()->modify(JComponentHelper::getParams('com_jobtracking')->get('warning_time', '-1 week'))->toUnix();
	}
	foreach ($items as $nr => &$item)
	{
		// insure job Number is always unique
		[[[Component]]]Helper::uniqueNr($item, 'job_order.jobnumber');
		if (!isset($_export) || !$_export)
		{
			// check if there is a problem on the products needed
			if ([[[Component]]]Helper::hasProblem($item->id))
			{
				// has a problem
				$item->job_status =  '<span class="vdm-text-danger">' . $item->job_status . '</span>';
			}
			// set the timers
			if (isset($item->created) && $item->created != '0000-00-00 00:00:00' && !empty($item->created))
			{
				$item->created = strtotime($item->created);
				// check date
				if ($item->created < $danger)
				{
					// set danger
					$item->created = '<span class="vdm-badge vdm-danger">' . [[[Component]]]Helper::fancyDate($item->created) . '</span>';
				}
				elseif ($item->created < $warning)
				{
					// set warning
					$item->created = '<span class="vdm-badge vdm-warning">' . [[[Component]]]Helper::fancyDate($item->created) . '</span>';
				}
				else
				{
					// set okay
					$item->created = '<span class="vdm-badge vdm-success">' . [[[Component]]]Helper::fancyDate($item->created) . '</span>';
				}
			}
			else
			{
				$item->created = '';
			}
			if (isset($item->delivery_date) && $item->delivery_date != '0000-00-00 00:00:00' && !empty($item->delivery_date))
			{
				$item->delivery_date = [[[Component]]]Helper::fancyDate(strtotime($item->delivery_date));
			}
			else
			{
				$item->delivery_date = '';
			}
		}
	}
}

O yes and I added this to Add PHP (getItems Method - before translation fix & decryption) since I wanted to be sure I use the raw untouched values.

The linked view is really a mirror of the actual admin view. So making any changes to the admin view should reflect where that admin view is linked.

I have not tested this extensively, but here is the result of the above code in a linked view with FooTable V3

It does not call the same model, it builds that same functions (class methods) into the model where it is linked. So can you look in the Sale model and share the method you find there?

I also notice that these are not the same linked views... the one has description and the other does not, so please check that you are linking to the correct view.

System Name is what helps to identify views that have the same names, but are used in different components. Well that is what I use system name for 👍

Hey JCB is not yet that smart... but hey with guys like you around I am sure we will get there. For now you can only add css to the page and target the table classes. But we could in the future look at this.

If you have a plan on how and what... then open an issue as a feature request and we will bump it into the feature request project here on github.
