"Secret Text" doesn't work in items.

[osarusan82]

What happened?

When creating an item in the game, text formatted as "secret text" does not show up in the descriptor.

For example, I'll make an item called "Magic Mushrooms" and write "This mushroom looks funny" in the description. Beneath that I'll write a paragraph of DM-only text, like "Eating this heals 1d6 HP" and save it,

The secret text saves properly, but is not visible even to the DM.

What is the expected behaviour?

I would expect the secret text to be visible by the DM in item descriptions, as it is with journal notes.

Just to note--"secret" text is no longer shown to just the GM once an actor owned by a player has that item in their inventory. What is "secret" only applies to people who don't own the item. The PF2e system has a separate "GM text" field for this purpose, but it's not standard Foundry behaviour.

We've tried to address problems like this with rendering rich text for a while now, and for a while there are hacks/workarounds that (for example) 5e uses to get around Foundry's quirks that for some reason never worked for us

We'll still keep trying
