Peter, I don’t know why it would be different in the IDE vs a standalone but I wouldn’t expect it to work correctly working with fields. There are limitations of what can be in a field.
I wrote the “Encryption Demo Stack” in RevOnLine that works both compiled and in the IDE. It puts the encrypted content into a custom property to avoid the problem you describe. You could take a look at it to see how it might be different from your stack. I just tested it with LC 6.5.2 under 10.9.1 but it was written a long time ago so it should work fine in 10.7.
