Personal Macros not saving HTML character code correctly

Using  } will automatically convert to a } if used within my personal list of universal macros. Same with the other HTML coded letters. This is an issue, as it messes up my drop-down query, which requires the HTML code to function. Example: save change, then going back to the macro shows this: I've tested this on Safari, Chrome, and Firefox.

This is how the collections tab macros work, and is why Keith came up with the idea of the macro mule: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5899495/stupid-roll20-tricks-and-some-clever-ones/?pageforid=5924364#post-5924364" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5899495/stupid-roll20-tricks-and-some-clever-ones/?pageforid=5924364#post-5924364</a> I also wish it would function the same as the ability editor on characters, but unfortunately, that's not the case.

It is worth noting that you can &nbsp;still use html in collections macros, just NEVER reopen it once saved and keep an off-site record of your encoded macros to replace it with should you ever accidentally open it... Easier just to use a macro mule though :D

Yep, I realized a macro mule would be a good enough fix right after posting. Shame that it can't be the same as the character list, but it's fine.
