No Code Attached Yet bug

Steps to reproduce the issue

Article options / tab Articles / set Intro Text to Hide
Article options / tab Integration / set Include in Feed to Full Text
Create an article with intro text 'AA', insert a Read more and add text 'BB'.

Expected result

Look at the html result on the website and view the full article. Only BB is shown.
Look at the feed result and only BB is shown.

Actual result

Look at the html result on the website and view the full article. Only BB is shown.
Look at the feed result and now AA + BB is shown.

System information (as much as possible)

Joomla 3 and 4

Additional comments

I do understand that Full article = Intro + Rest. But as the option states in the hint-text (J3): If set to Show, the Intro text of the Article will show when you drill down to the article. If set to Hide, only the part of the article after the 'Read More' break will show. That makes: Full article = Rest. And the feed does not obey that rule.
Can this be solved?

I could replicate this Successfully ✅
This is what I found:

<item>
			<title>Test RSS Article</title>
			<link>http://localhost/category-blog-menu-for-article-setting/test-rss-article</link>
			<guid isPermaLink="true">http://localhost/category-blog-menu-for-article-setting/test-rss-article</guid>
			<description><![CDATA[<p>AA</p>

<p>BB</p>]]></description>
			<category>Uncategorised</category>

		</item>

I personally don't know yet if this is the correct way (otherwise won't be applicable or is meaningless) or if it is a bug.
Maybe someone with a better understanding can tell us @Hackwar.
I might work on this though.


Testing performed on Joomla 5.4

Issue: RSS Feed ignores "Show Intro Text = Hide" setting when "Include in Feed = Full Text" is selected

Steps performed to replicate:

  1. Navigated to Content → Articles → Options
  2. Under the Articles tab, set Show Intro Text to Hide
  3. Under the Integration tab, set Include in Feed to Full Text
  4. Clicked Save & Close
  5. Created a new article with:
    • Title: "Test RSS Article"
    • In the content area, typed "AA"
    • Clicked the Read More toggle (CMS Content → Read More)
    • After the read more break, typed "BB"
    • Saved the article
  6. On the frontend, accessed the RSS feed using the URL:
    http://localhost/category-blog-menu-for-article-setting?format=feed&type=rss

Result observed in the feed:

<item>
			<title>Test RSS Article</title>
			<link>http://localhost/category-blog-menu-for-article-setting/test-rss-article</link>
			<guid isPermaLink="true">http://localhost/category-blog-menu-for-article-setting/test-rss-article</guid>
			<description><![CDATA[<p>AA</p>

<p>BB</p>]]></description>
			<category>Uncategorised</category>

		</item>

Expected result (with Show Intro Text = Hide):
Only BB should appear in the feed description

Actual result (bug):
Both AA and BB appear in the feed description

Comparison:

  • HTML view (full article): Only BB appears ✅ (correct behavior)
  • RSS Feed: AA + BB appear ❌ (bug — Intro Text should be hidden)

Conclusion:
The RSS feed generation code ignores the Show Intro Text = Hide setting. When "Include in Feed = Full Text" is selected, it should output only the content after the Read More break when Show Intro Text is set to Hide, but instead it outputs both intro text and full text concatenated.

System information:

  • Joomla 5.4
  • Feed URL tested: http://localhost/category-blog-menu-for-article-setting?format=feed&type=rss
