For some reason I was getting an error about "version" being invalid while submitting this bug so I will add some details here. The problem occurs due to the fact that em_tip.twig is rendered first on the page, retrieving the correct value for datasecurity_notice_label. However, on subsequent calls to setDefaultPrivacyText (for rendering privacy_datasecurity_notice_label.twig), the logic is skipped and placeholders are not replaced.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a survey with Vanilla theme.
2. Set format to "All in one".
3. Add a "Collapsible text" privacy policy.
4. Use the {STARTPOLICYLINK} and {ENDPOLICYLINK} placeholders in the privacy policy label field.

Expected result

The privacy policy label placeholders are replaced with a toggle link.

Actual result

The placeholders are not replaced.

See the attached screenshots for examples.

For us to be able to investigate this issue please attach a 2 question sample survey demonstrating the issue, either as .lss file (survey structure) or (even better) as .lsa file (survey archive).
With "Use the {STARTPOLICYLINK} and {ENDPOLICYLINK} placeholders in the privacy policy label field."

Here you go.
