ThreadText: # Reference tags in rich text fields parse and converted on save
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2014-08-11)
  
  In my rich text field, I have a reference tag: `{globalset:34:address}`.
  
  When I save and open the entry back up, the content is no longer a reference, but the parsed content, which sort of eliminates its usefulness.
  
  **Tags:** reference-tags
