Passing values containing < > in XML generator with "Escape special characters" turned ON

Hi,

I’ve some fields containing < > (html tags) that needs to go into XML generator and provide desired output however the fields come in as a raw string and doesn’t do it’s work as “Escape special characters” in XML generator has been turned ON. If this option is turned off, the pipeline doesn’t even run.

Any workaround on how to ingest <> in XML generator with the pipeline running as well?
Thanks!

Best Regards,
DT
