Can you please provide more information about the error? Based on the description the issue seems similar to this, I would recommend checking the solution suggested there: > [@ERROR: Generic JavaScript View (JavaScript)](https://forum.knime.com/t/error-generic-javascript-view-javascript/84733): > > I tried to test [my workflow](https://edu-hub.knime.com/s/k5YrcUdGHVDdsENI) in edu-hub but I get this error when I run: Node: 6:0:8:0:1 (JS Map) Message:Error in script SyntaxError: Unexpected token ‘&’ at [https://apps.edu-hub.knime.com/\_/api/jobs/278fc8c4-334e-43a5-ae19-2395dd9c883e/workflow/wizard/web-resources/org/knime/js/base/node/viz/generic/knime-generic-view-v3.js:94:41](https://apps.edu-hub.knime.com/_/api/jobs/278fc8c4-334e-43a5-ae19-2395dd9c883e/workflow/wizard/web-resources/org/knime/js/base/node/viz/generic/knime-generic-view-v3.js:94:41) at Object.execCb ([https://apps.edu-hub.knime.com/\_/api/jobs/278fc8c4-334e-43a5-ae19-2395dd9c883e/workflow/wizard/web-resources/org/knime/core/require.…](https://apps.edu-hub.knime.com/_/api/jobs/278fc8c4-334e-43a5-ae19-2395dd9c883e/workflow/wizard/web-resources/org/knime/core/require.js:5:12897) ---

@BenceKeseru as described we tried to set this in our server config and tomcat config. Still same behavior. Seems we cannot override the attribute correct, or it is unable to be disabled. Same error as in linked post. Any other hints? ---

If `-Djs.core.sanitize.sanitizeGenericJSView` is set to `false` explicitly then the value of the checkbox is taken into account again. ---

Hi @hannesmergler , This looks like for some reason the HTML is still being sanitized. I have created a data app for debugging. It retrieves the current values of the two system properties and shows them in the browser. Can you run this data app in your new Server installation and see what it outputs? Kind regards, Alexander [Sanitization.knwf](https://forum.knime.com/uploads/short-url/1GE2sei8LqDGPoghnQ1cJdagF3n.knwf) (76.4 KB) ---
