Hi @tomfulton, yea, because we don't want to waste time passing the value through all the value converters if we are already of the target type. This should be fine though as at this point the RTE stuff should have already been replaced at the point of witch it was retrieved from the database (ConvertDbToEditor). I think then, your issue is more related to your other github post you made about needing to look up the DTD GUID first.
