# “Default value” field doesn’t work with “Code Editor” control type

 * Plain text will render properly as the default value. But if you attempt to input
   an html script tag as the default, it won’t show-up.
 * Here’s how to reproduce the problem:
    1) Create a new lazyblock 2) Add a Content
   Control of type: Code Editor 3) Add a Default value which contains an html script
   tag: <script>console.log(‘potato’);</script> 4) Save 5) Add the new block to 
   a Page, and the default value will fail to display.
 * In general, other html tags don’t appear to render either.
    If you were to input
   a default value of: “<p> This is a potato test </p>”
 * The default value will display as “this is a potato test”. All of the html scripting
   appears to be stripped-away.
 * I would assume this is undesired behavior from a Control type called “Code Editor”.
   
   I’m looking for either a workaround, or a bug report. Thanks!

 * Hey.
 * Yes, looks like we don’t need to strip tags in all block data and controls data(
   not just the Code control, but all controls). I will look at this problem and
   in the next update it will be resolved.
