Describe the Bug

The "What are you trying to achieve?" (details) field in the Project settings suffers from a double HTML encoding issue. When saving rich text, the WYSIWYG editor wraps it in HTML tags. However, the Blade templates for these views are using {{ htmlentities(...) }}, which double-escapes the HTML.

When the editor is re-loaded or the view is rendered, the HTML tags (like <p>) are displayed as plain text to the user instead of being rendered as rich text.

Expected Behavior

The rich text editor should render the HTML correctly without exposing the raw HTML tags to the user.

Root Cause & Proposed Fix

The issue is located in the Blade templates where the details field is printed. The {{ }} syntax in Blade already escapes data, so wrapping it in htmlentities() causes the double escape.

Files affected:

1. app/Domain/Projects/Templates/submodules/projectDetails.blade.php
2. app/Domain/Projects/Templates/newProject.blade.php

Current code:
<textarea ...>{{ htmlentities($project['details']) }}</textarea>

Proposed fix:
Replace with the unescaped Blade syntax so TipTap can initialize the HTML properly:
<textarea ...>{!! $project['details'] !!}</textarea>

Environment

• Leantime Version: 3.8.0 (also tested/present in latest)
• Installation Method: Docker

4. Edit the project again.
5. The text in the editor now visually shows <p>Hello</p> instead of rendering it.
