DDM - Embedded Fields Lose information and are not accounted for in Templates

• Fix Priority: 4

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a Structure with a Text field (named "text") embedded into a Text Box field (named "text_box")
2. Create a new Template for the Structure, adding the following:

   • ${text_box.getData()}
     ${text_box.getChild("text").getData()}
     

     • (User will only see Template editor help for the Text Box field, nevermind this for now--just add the lines above)
3. Add a new piece of Web Content using the Structure and Template created above, adding something unique into each field. When publishing the new content also notice that the information from the embedded Text Box field doesn't show when clicking into the WC article.

I am providing a Web Content portlet LAR for quickly creating the Structure and Template with embedded fields.

Note: This issue also occurs in the embedded fields for Dynamic Data Lists. There is no workaround for losing embedded field data, so I'm marking this as a Major bug.
