render html content through custom field to the pdf direct in Netsuite

I created a custom field on Item Fulfillment with the field type Rich Text. I entered the following HTML content into the field:

<p><strong>Special Offer:</strong> Get 20% off this month!</p>

Now, I am trying to access and render this field in an Advanced PDF/HTML Template using the following code:

<table class="monthlyPromo">
  <tr>      
    <td>
      <#if record.custbody_monthly_promo?has_content>
        <#assign myhtml = record.custbody_monthly_promo?interpret>
        <@myhtml>
      </#if>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

However, the content from the custom field is not being displayed on the PDF. It shows as blank when the PDF is generated.

What I Have Tried: Confirmed that the custom field custbody_monthly_promo is correctly populated with HTML content. Used ${record.custbody_monthly_promo} to check if the raw HTML is being retrieved — it shows the raw tags (like

and ) but doesn’t render them. Verified that the field ID custbody_monthly_promo is correct. Desired Outcome: I want to render the HTML content stored in the Rich Text field directly in the PDF as formatted text (e.g., Special Offer: Get 20% off this month!) without displaying the raw HTML tags.

Question: How can I interpret and render the HTML content from a custom Rich Text field in a NetSuite Advanced PDF/HTML Template?

I don't think you need any special tricks for this. Just rendering the raw value from the Rich Text field renders correctly in my account:

PDF with rendered Rich Text

The contents of my Rich Text field (custentity11):

<p><strong>Special Offer:</strong> Get 20% off this month!</p>

The contents of my template:

<h1>Hello World</h1>
<hr />
<p>${record.custentity11}</p>
<hr />

I'm not sure an @ directive is necessary at all.

If that's still not working for you, and ?interpret doesn't work, you could try using ?no_esc or ?html (deprecated) on the value as well.
