    I'm adding a new "Custom HTML" field. It doesn't create an ID. When I type one in, it gets removed when I click "update". Is that normal behavior? Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/lVR1yhn.png

    Hello,

    The field custom HTML does not need the field ID. It used to display some extra content in the meta box. I will inform the development team to remove the field ID of this field.

    Ok, thank you. I might be misunderstanding the use case for that field type.

    Here's what I'm trying to do: I would like a field where I can store html code. (Specifically, it's the embed code from Termageddon for a privacy policy.) Then I want to pull that code into a Bricks code module to display the policy on the front end.

    I tried using a text field, but it stripped the code. A text area field seems to save the code. But on the front end, I just get "no code found" and nothing shows up when I inspect.

    Can you point me in the right direction? Links to some screenshots. Thank you!

    Hello,

    If the code is saved properly, you should contact Bricks support if it is not outputted in the front end.

    It seemed to save properly. Before I contact Bricks, can you confirm I'm using the appropriate field type for this, or can you suggest a better way?

    Yes, textarea is a proper field to add the HTML code. You can also take a look at the sanitization and bypassing it https://docs.metabox.io/sanitization/
