Pega DX API Converts Special Characters into HTML entities
Hi, I'm using Pega API v1, and invoking api/v1/cases/{ID}/actions/{actionID}
For a few fields in section, special characters have been configured.
For example, Text - "You'll usually find this information in your terms and conditions." is being converted as "You'll usually find this information in your terms and conditions." in API response.
I found below article, I copied pyDXAPIEncodeValues application setting into app branch rule set and updated everything false. It didn't work.
Any suggestions to resolve this? Thank you.

@VENKATESH GUDEENTI have you considered transforming the value back on the client? The reason that the transformation is in place is to make sure the content does not invalidate the response by adding special characters.

@Jeroen Thanks
The earlier scenario was fine.
The problem we have here is with custom DX API attributes. As Pega DX is not supporting to return the when condition logic, we are using DX attributes to send the Boolean expression to client side in JSON.
For example – FieldID1 == “yes” && FieldID2 == “no”
Pega is converting the above Boolean expression to - FieldID1 == "yes" && FieldID2 == "no"
It’s difficult for front end developers to parse this and apply logic.
