I have a DOM multi-select filter on a single column in a table. The filter is defined with:

yadcf.init(table, [{
  column_number: 1,
  filter_type: "multi_select",
  select_type: 'select2',
  select_type_options: {theme: 'bootstrap', width: '250px'},
}]);

When the select is rendered, then it is escaping characters which appear in the table, such as '>', which means that the filtering does not work.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

please provide a minimal test page on jsfiddle or simialr – Daniel Mar 10 '22 at 07:06
I have created a [jsfiddle](http://jsfiddle.net/matthewhegarty/jpnxq4sv/4/), however this is not reproducing the issue. I am using django and the HTML is being rendered correctly with HTML escaping - I think this is why it appears escaped in the 'select'. The jsFiddle handles the escaping ok, which is not what I'm seeing. – Matthew Hegarty Mar 10 '22 at 12:05

The workaround is to use the yadcf `data` attribute which renders correctly in the select. – Matthew Hegarty Mar 10 '22 at 12:08
how about adding `` to your `` tag in html? – Daniel Mar 10 '22 at 12:53
thanks - I already have that – Matthew Hegarty Mar 10 '22 at 13:44
