NodeCustomData Storage
We're currently using the TreeNode's NodeCustomData property to store metadata about our documents. The problem is that when written to the database the NodeCustomData's values are HTML encoded, which makes them more difficult to search on in the database, since we now have to HTML encode the values in our queries. Is there a way to disable this HTML encoding?

This data is never displayed to or modified by the user.

RE:NodeCustomData Storage
Hello,

Regrettably, this field needs to be in the mentioned format (xml) because it's used internally and changing the filed type would cause issues within the system. You will have to do the converting by your own during the handling of the content.

Best regards,
Boris Pocatko
