As many of you surely already know, it is possible to get the content from a text template, part of a flow, into a ContentNote object. However, when the note is created, its format does not correspond correctly to the one in the text template. More specifically, in the notes, line breaks are simply considered as single spaces. Anyone with an idea on how to include these line breaks in the ContentNote is more than welcome to share!

I have already tried to use <br/> or BR(), but flow displays following error message : "This error occurred when the flow tried to create records: INVALID_INPUT: Note can't be saved because it contains HTML tags or unescaped characters that are not allowed in a Note.. "

I have also tried, after reading on this matter, to import the content of the text template as a .txt file using the Data Loader... line breaks did appear, but the expressions of the variabes were displayed as simple text. Which makes sense, I guess.

So, I contacted a Salesforce Support Agent and he believed the line breaks were lost due to the fact that the ContentNote is referencing a visual force page. This page is basically the last screen the flow displays, after it runned successfully. It displays the content of the new note created, with all the line breaks, but when you navigate to the record page to see its notes and expand the note, you realize the line breaks disappeared and format is not respected.

The following image illustrates the issue where lines breaks are omitted (Image to left is the text template / Image to the right is result once note created).

I have developed code to over come limitation of print option for list view.

I'm working on a Visualforce page to simplify logging of Activities. As a portion of this process, users are asked to enter supporting text, which is to be attached to the resulting Activity in a note record (I'm using the new ContentNote). What I keep encountering is two issues:

• In the resulting note, all line breaks are removed: all of the lines are run together with no intervening space.
• There is an exception thrown repeatedly as follows:

"Note can't be saved because it contains HTML tags or unescaped characters that are not allowed in a Note.
Error is in expression '{!save}' in component <apex:commandButton> in page log_activity: Class.LogActivityController.save: line 123, column 1"

Note that I do use String.escapeHTML4() to prepare the text. Based on my testing the exception appears to be thrown when Unicode characters are present. Am I failing to prepare Unicode text appropriately in some fashion I'm not aware of?

Does anyone have any ideas? 

 

ContentNote n = new ContentNote();
        	
        	if (task.Subject != null && task.Subject != '') {
	        	n.Title = task.Subject;
        	} else {
        		n.Title = 'Activity Notes';
        	}
        	
        	n.Content = Blob.valueOf(longDescription.escapeHtml4());
        	
        	insert n;
        	
        	ContentDocumentLink cdl = new ContentDocumentLink();
        	
        	cdl.ContentDocumentId = n.Id;
        	cdl.LinkedEntityId = task.Id;
        	cdl.Visibility = 'AllUsers';
        	cdl.ShareType = 'I';

Hi,

 

When our app makes a callout to an external webservice over SSL, we get the following Exception:

 

System.CalloutException: IO Exception: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

 

 This doesn't happen with regular http callout. our certificate is NOT expired on the target server and everything seems to be normal. no alert or anything from the browser.

 any idea?

 

Thanks,

 

P.S We need to resolve this for security review.
