KB20385: An Attribute that uses embedded HTML for a description form is displays HTML tags in Graph view in MicroStrategy Web 9.x - 10.x

SYMPTOM:
When displaying an attribute form with embedded HTML in Graph view from Strategy 9.x - 10.x, the form appears as HTML tags instead of the attribute description as expected.
 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
In Strategy Tutorial project, do the following:
 

• Create a new attribute form for the attribute Country
• Define the new attribute form expression as:
  ApplySimple("'<A HREF=http://www.Strategy.com>' + #0+'</A>'", )
  
• Set the Form Format Type to 'HTML Tag'
• Save the form as 'Country URL'
  

• Update the Schema.
• Create a new report in Strategy Web with the attribute Country and metric Revenue on the grid.
• Select to show only the attribute form 'Country URL'
  

• Execute the report and see the Country names appear as hyperlinks.
  

• Select to display to graph view and notice that the Country names appear as HTML tags.
  

CAUSE:
This is working as designed. The content of 'HTML Tag' form format is displayed in web without specific encoding under the grid. This causes the content of the 'HTML Tag' to be rendered as-is in graph view. 
 
ACTION:
To fix the issue, select another attribute form to display in addition to the HTML tag form. In this example, the DESC form will be selected.
 

The Graph view now shows the Country name.
