ACF Pro "Escapes Unsafe HTML" Nag (ACF 6.2.5)

Hello, I recently had a nag appear in my wordpress dashboard that says the following:

ACF PRO — ACF now automatically escapes unsafe HTML when rendered by the ACF shortcode. We’ve detected the output of some of your fields will be modified by this change. Learn how to fix. Show details

The “Show Detail” link shows the following:

show_episode_number () - rendered via acf_shortcode

Now that field is a True/False field that I only use for Cornerstone conditions. I’m not sure why it says “rendered via acf_shortcode”, unless that has something to do with how Cornerstone renders the content.

Is this a bug or something I need to be concerned about?

Hey @bobbybosler,

I relates to ACF HTML content. If you have inserted HTML, it ACF now escapes it. I believe it won’t affect anything in Pro and there’s no report related to it yet.
