I tried to used some html markup in the default value of a paragraph text field,, and it displays the markup on the front end (I also made it a readonly field, fwiw).
So I take it that html cannot be used within the default value text?

HTML within Default Value on Paragraph Text field

Nope. Textarea form controls don't render HTML. That's not a Gravity Forms limitation, that's just how the form controls work. It might render the default text HTML if you were using a WYSIWYG script like TinyMCE, etc. to add HTML support for the paragraph text field/textarea.

Thanks Kevin, that's what I thought.
What I was doing was using a paragraph text field, populating the default value with some text (agreement terms), then made the field readonly.
I would have used an HTML block field, but I needed to have the agreement terms sent back to the forms entries database, to document what the user was agreeing to.
I didn't see any other way to do this, but to use a paragraph field.
Any other ways you can think of?
Maybe GF needs a new field type called 'Read Only'?Thanks!
