It doesn’t affect the settings, but I can reproduce this with the translation fields:

To be clear though, this isn’t isolated to the Account Deletion Request component. Other components that I’ve tested such as Discourse TOC and Kansan exhibit the same issue with their translation fields too.

That is very helpful, thanks @Stephen, I’ve got a PR with a fix for theme translations: [FIX: Theme translations resetting on save by pmusaraj · Pull Request #22072 · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/22072)

Hello 👋

I’ve merged an [update](https://github.com/VaperinaDEV/discourse-account-deletion-request/commit/451dde61542ffdae3d8ab7b2526fb98a69b9127e) to allow HTML on modal description. After you update the component you can use what Lilly suggested to line breaks.

> [@Lilly](#):
>
> have you tried the html `<br>` line break yet?

Your text looks like this in html:

```plaintext
When you send us an account anonymization request, we'll remove all personal data from your account, while retaining your posts. This means:
<br>
<ul>
  <li>You will no longer be able to log in as this specific account.</li>
  <br>
  <li>A new username will be randomly assigned to the account such as anon123456. This new username will be applied to all your posts in the system, and we will update all @mentions and quotes too.</li>
  <li>The new username is not applied to: deleted posts, post revisions when the current post doesn't mention or quote the renamed user anymore, oneboxed user profiles, queued posts, or staff logs.</li>
  <li>Your email, name, date of birth and avatar will be removed.</li>
  <li>Your user profile will be removed.</li>
  <li>Any API keys generated for the account will be revoked.</li>
  <li>Any third-party authentication mechanism (Google/Facebook/etc) will be revoked.</li>
</ul>

```

Awesome, component. After upgrading discourse to 3.2.0 I’m seeing an error in the logs

Here’s the backtrace:

~~Thanks for the report 🙂 I’ve merged a fix, please update the component.~~

Oh, that seems it’s stable version. 🤔 I think this won’t works yet.

I suspect his issue is something else. RBoy reported the same issue with other components. 🤔

Also, I’ve tried yours with Discourse 3.2.0, and I see no issues so far!

Yes, it only seems to affect some theme components, but not all after upgrading to 3.2.0. In my case this theme, the DiscoTOC and Dark/Light Mode themes.

Suggestion, you could add this code to the first post to allow folks to install this component with a single click

```plaintext
[wrap=theme-install-button repoUrl="https://github.com/VaperinaDEV/discourse-account-deletion-request" repoName="Account Deletion Request"]
Install this theme component
[/wrap]

```

It should look this:
