textformatters options to get rid of entities once and for all

[froot]

textformatters=TextformatterEntities in my field settings cause problems when moving data around (exporting, importing). I can't get rid of the entities in my code and so I have troubles filtering and selecting the content (I tried $sanitizer->unentities, actually need to apply that twice for it to look good but still does not filter/select properly). I figured It must be possible to change the format in the field directly and once and for all.

What other options does "textformatters" allow? Because deleting it altogether doesn't work at all.

thanks

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do, so I'm guessing here, but it sounds as if you might need to set output formatting to false before doing it.

There are many textformatters available at https://processwire.com/modules/category/textformatter/, and it's quite easy to write your own if necessary.
