That's obviously not what you'd like and the reason why it does that, because all values are being escaped. Now there is a way to stop that from being from happening. That is really what this tutorial is about. To show you how to prevent that escaping. The value we have here is to create date, as well as the job status.

??? ### Field Adding Escape=False To Code
And I'm going to go to the fields, I'm going to scroll down to Job status. I'm going to open it. While I having it open and I can scroll down and you will see that there it doesn't show up here. sorry I should actually add it but the reality is [00:04:09](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfl0l3AoLKU&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h04m09s) way at the bottom you see I added this little line I set escape Equals False So you would simply add this line And then when component Builder compiles It will actually in the body Of the component where that field is loaded It will tell the Escape method not to escape it [00:04:37](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfl0l3AoLKU&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h04m37s) So that it would then Display the html instead of printing it out So that is really what it's all about maybe it's Got a lot of explanation for such a simple thing But I can tell you what if you can't do that it's quite frustrating because Sometimes you would like to give some indication with some HTML upon the value and then this Feature actually allows that like you could see here We were able to add a nice button around these dates And as well as adding some colour to to these words here and yeah [00:05:15](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfl0l3AoLKU&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h05m15s) So that is a quick demonstration of how to make use of the not escape Method or concept When it comes to list views around the field values Hope that makes sense You have any questions please don't hesitate to let me know And Until next time take care thanks for watching

So you would simply add this line. When component builder compiles, in the body of the component where that field is loaded, it will tell the escape method not to escape it, [00:04:37](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfl0l3AoLKU&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h04m37s) that it would then display the html instead of printing it out. That is really what it's all about. Maybe it have a lot of explanation for such a simple thing. But I can tell you what if you can't do that, it's quite frustrating. Because sometimes you would like to give some indication with some HTML upon the value, this feature actually allows that. Like you could see here we were able to add a nice button around these dates. And as well as adding some colour to these words.
