**Your software**  
My Mautic version is: 4.4.5  
My PHP version is: 7.4.33  
My Database type and version is: MySQL

**Your problem**  
I cant find a way to supply rich/HTML content when using the add note API via /api/notes/new - it seems to strip HTML tags, just leaving the plain text.

When making the request, if I supply body;

```auto
{
"lead": "1160",
"text": "<strong>testABC</strong>",
"type": "email",
"dateTime": "2023-10-25 21:34:52"
}

```

I only get “text”: “testABC” in the response (and in the mautic UI).

Any ideas/suggestions much appreciated.

Ugh… Is this perhaps fixed in v5?

It would be nice to have [even just basic] formatting when saving an email, etc as a note.

Honestly, even just line breaks would be a huge win.
