Markdown applied on string entity /regex entity with underscore characters

XO Platform Builder Bugs
1

I have created a string entity, for which the user should be able to input any characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and _ (underscore). eg: task_ABCD_1612713. The issue is that the string is being automatically converted to taskABCD1612713, so the underscores are removed and the text surrounded by underscores is made italic. I tried the same thing with custom entity using regex but the issue persists.
Is there any workaround to disaple markdown for user input?

Hi @andra.iacovici,

We are able to replicate the scenario.
We will check this with our development team and let you know.

Hi @andra.iacovici,

We have discussed this with our development team.

When underscore is followed any string followed by an underscore, this will be formatted as font style italic by the platform. This is the expected behaviour of Markdown.
Eg… _abc_task

However, as an alternative, you can support underscores if the underscores in the string are followed by a space.
eg- _abc _task

Let us know if you need any further clarification.
