Bootstrap input field inside tooltip popover removed from output html

Question

Hello i`m using boostrap 4.3.1 and included popper 1.14.7.

Normally I can add input fields in the content of the popup/tooltip. I don`t since when, but at the moment when I put input field in the content then only the text is visible.

When I look in the source (compiled html) I can see that popper or bootstrap removed the input fields. Do I something wrong?

    var options = {
        html: true,
        // content: function(){ return $(".amountElec.popup").html();},
        placement: "bottom",
        container: "body"
    };
    
    $(function(){
        $('#manualinput').popover(options);
    })

     data-content="test <input name='test' type='text' value='2'>" 
     data-html="true" 
     data-placement="bottom">
     
     OPEN TOOLTUP
</div>

I found the solution...

I my case add this to the javascript:

        var myDefaultWhiteList = $.fn.tooltip.Constructor.Default.whiteList;
        myDefaultWhiteList.input = [];

It's even easier as you think:

Add

sanitize: false

as config option if you want to disable sanitize at all. If you just want to adapt the whitelist, you are right with your solution

After searching in the debug console I found somehting in the tooltip.js from bootstrap.

content = sanitizeHtml(content, this.config.whiteList, this.config.sanitizeFn)

  setElementContent($element, content) {
    if (typeof content === 'object' && (content.nodeType || content.jquery)) {
      // Content is a DOM node or a jQuery
      if (this.config.html) {
        if (!$(content).parent().is($element)) {
          $element.empty().append(content)
        }
      } else {
        $element.text($(content).text())
      }

      return
    }

    if (this.config.html) {
      if (this.config.sanitize) {
        content = sanitizeHtml(content, this.config.whiteList, this.config.sanitizeFn)
      }

      $element.html(content)
    } else {
      $element.text(content)
    }
  }

sanitizeHtml function removes the input fields :(.

I just turned of sanitize by default (globally):

$.fn.tooltip.Constructor.DEFAULTS.sanitize = false;
$.fn.popover.Constructor.DEFAULTS.sanitize = false;
