    When adding an external link to Journal  - the app fetches title of the page, sometimes description and oftern even an image from the page. 

    Problem is that the link does not work so users need to copy and paste the URL from the text-field

    The TITLE is not HTML-encoded but the description is, but. making the content of the popup preview very confusing for users. 

    Is there any way I con fix this myself.   maybe solution 

    1. Not html-encode the description field  in preview
    2. maybe html-decode the description field in preview

    This is what it looks like

    confgusing decscription

    The page I link to is utf-8 none encoded
    source linked page

    I tried to remove html encoding and escaping from the  /Portals/DesktopModules/Journal/scripts/journal.js
    but that did not help
    Journal Script Code

    In database TABLE the data is saved in the same field {ItemData} But with different encoding:
    ITEM-DATA

    Any help appreciated,  would like to make this less confusing for the USERS.

      What version of DNN are you using?
      I think there's some kind of a fix regarding encoding of journal items in DNN 9.8
      But I'm not sure if it's related to this issue.
      If I understand at least apart of you question correctly you would want an option that the Journal editor does not "load the URL and create a preview"?

        Thank you

        Well not quite, I would like the journal to not html-encode the description value, or
        else, if displaing the description value to show it decoded  as it does when the linkj is submittet and shown in the log. 

        The problem is only after link is written in text box, but yet not submittet.   
        After the link is submittet it is shown html-encoded-decoded in the journal.  and here it looks normal
