Relax restrictions for HTML Element widget

OutSystems UI

The HTML Element widget is, from what I can tell, limited to a set of tags that OutSystems defined.


As new HTML tags are created, and with the surge of technologies like Web Components (that use custom HTML tags), this becomes a limitation and we have to implement workarounds to make a simple thing work.

Can this rule be relaxed or even completely removed?

Hi Tiago,
I think there is probably a reason why this is not allowed, maybe due to conflict with the existing OutSystems popup widget? (I don't think so) However, I do agree that the at least the dialog element should be allowed (technically all existing html elements should be allowed).

Hi @Sergi,

OutSystems Popups seem to be using React Portals from what I can tell. They do not conflict in any way with the <dialog> tag.

Allowing any html tag would make it possible to use awesome web components and libraries like Shoelace and many others.
