Workaround We will address this issue in Tokyo and Utah patch releases.

The workaround is to set system property glide.ui.escape_all_script=true

Open System Properties (/sys_properties_list.do) Find Property name glide.ui.escape_all_script and open the record Change the value from false to true Save true is the recommended value of this security-related property, and the default value for newer instances.

For releases prior to Tokyo, in classic UI, this is what can be done.

Go to System UI > UI pages

open the record with the name 'samp_run_reconciliation_by_publisher' (sys_ui_page_0074b4f33b132200e724ea2b34efc48b.xml)

in the HTML section of the file, look for the line

var publisherStringify = '${jvar_publishers}'; (around line 375) and replace it with var publisherStringify = '${JS_STRING:jvar_publishers}'; Update the record Related Problem: PRB1439805
