Steps to reproduce the issue
Using postman for example, paste the following text in body:
{
"alias": "",
"introtext": "
The word bold is in bold.
The word italic is in italic.
"catid": 2,
"language": "*",
"metadesc": "",
"metakey": "",
"title": "Test modification"
}
Then create the article (POST)
Expected result
In the back office you will find the article with the words "bold" and "italic" respectively in bold and italic.
You will find "
The word bold is in bold.
The word italic is in italic.
Then send a new requete en mode PATCH this time to modify the article.
Return a request but this time in modification (PATCH)
Actual result
This time you will find "
The word bold is in bold.The word italic is in italic.
"You have lost all tags.
System information (as much as possible)
I would like to point out that in the back-office of the sites, in global configuration, text filters, all the fields are set to "No Filtering".
Additional comments
Hello,
I am a developer of mobile applications and discover the potential of web services under Joomla 4.
As an experiment, I am developing an Android application. This application allows you to manage one or more Joomla sites.
The features are very basic at the moment:
- Creation / modification / deletion: articles, categories, users.
- Site synchronization: A window allows you to select a source site, a source category, the destination site (s) then with a single click, the articles from the source site are replicated to the destination sites; articles that do not exist on the destination site are created, and existing articles updated.
Ultimately, my idea is to create a mobile application (Android initially then for iOS and Windows).
The objective is not to take over the native functionalities of Joomla - the Joomla back office is there for that - but to offer a certain number of additional tools for advanced users. Such as automatically synchronizing one or more sites, recovery with automatic integration of data from third-party sites. The only limit of the related "tools" is the imagination.
Today I am facing a first difficulty. One of my "tool modules" allows you to retrieve the article from a source site and replicate it to one or more destination sites. New articles are created without worry. On the other hand, I lose the tags when it comes to modifying an article.
Can anyone tell me if he observes the same problem?
Did I miss something?
Could it be a Joomla bug in web services?
This is my first post here, I hope I am in the right place and sorry for my bad English.
Best regards,
Eric.

Hello Nicola,@alikon
First of all I create a new article:
POST {{base_path}}/api/index.php/v1/content/articles
{
"alias": "my-article",
"articletext": "
This bold line is in blue.
","catid": 2,
"language": "*",
"metadesc": "",
"metakey": "",
"title": "Here's an article"
}
Here is the result :
{
"links": {
"self": "https://joomlapi.android-apps.fr/api/index.php/v1/content/articles"
},
"data": {
"type": "articles",
"id": "107",
"attributes": {
"typeAlias": "com_content.article",
"id": 107,
"asset_id": 300,
"title": "Here's an article",
"alias": "my-article",
"state": 0,
"created": "2021-07-31 06:37:50",
"created_by": 539,
"created_by_alias": "",
"modified": "2021-07-31 06:37:50",
"modified_by": 539,
"publish_up": null,
"publish_down": null,
"images": [],
"urls": [],
"version": 1,
"metakey": "",
"metadesc": "",
"access": 1,
"hits": 0,
"metadata": [],
"featured": 0,
"language": "*",
"note": "",
"tags": [],
"featured_up": null,
"featured_down": null,
"text": "
This bold line is in blue.
","about-the-author": "",
"a-propos-de-lauteur-fr-fr": ""
},
"relationships": {
"category": {
"data": {
"type": "categories",
"id": "2"
}
},
"created_by": {
"data": {
"type": "users",
"id": "539"
}
},
"modified_by": {
"data": {
"type": "users",
"id": "539"
}
},
"languageAssociations": {
"data": []
}
}
}
}
In the back office, you see that the text "This bold line is in blue." is in bold and blue because the tag "strong" and so on...
Then I edit this article. I'm not actually modifying anything, just to test the modification, either:
PATCH {{base_path}}/api/index.php/v1/content/articles/107
{
"alias": "my-article",
"articletext": "
This bold line is in blue.
","catid": 2,
"language": "*",
"metadesc": "",
"metakey": "",
"title": "Here's an article (updated)"
}
Here is the result :
{
"links": {
"self": "https://joomlapi.android-apps.fr/api/index.php/v1/content/articles/107"
},
"data": {
"type": "articles",
"id": "107",
"attributes": {
"typeAlias": "com_content.article",
"id": 107,
"asset_id": 300,
"title": "Here's an article (updated)",
"alias": "my-article",
"state": 0,
"created": "2021-07-31 06:37:50",
"created_by": 539,
"created_by_alias": "",
"modified": "2021-07-31 06:44:51",
"modified_by": 539,
"publish_up": null,
"publish_down": null,
"images": [],
"urls": [],
"version": 2,
"metakey": "",
"metadesc": "",
"access": 1,
"hits": 0,
"metadata": [],
"featured": 0,
"language": "*",
"note": "",
"tags": [],
"featured_up": null,
"featured_down": null,
"text": "This bold line is in blue. ",
"about-the-author": "",
"a-propos-de-lauteur-fr-fr": ""
},
"relationships": {
"category": {
"data": {
"type": "categories",
"id": "2"
}
},
"created_by": {
"data": {
"type": "users",
"id": "539"
}
},
"modified_by": {
"data": {
"type": "users",
"id": "539"
}
},
"languageAssociations": {
"data": []
}
}
}
}
Comme vous pouvez le constater, le contenu du texte a perdu toutes les balises (couleur, gras, ...)
Nous obtenons ceci : "
This bold line is in blue.
"à la place de : "
This bold line is in blue.
"Je précise que dans le back office du site all filters are set as "No Filtering" 'but I don't know if it's related)
Best regards,
Eric.
