List of Accepted Elements in Data Fields
This article applies to both Classic and Contextual Stores.
As a best practice, FastSpring limits the use of certain elements (such as specific HTML tags or attributes) when editing certain data fields stored in your FastSpring account.
When attempting to save changes to a record, the presence of any markup elements not specifically listed in this article may result in an error message that prevents saving the update. In that case, the error message displayed on screen will specifically identify the element(s) that you have entered which are not accepted. In order to save your change, you would just need to modify the field contents by removing the specified element(s).
