Issue with a field type

In problem task table, there was a field as "Worknotes" ,  in normal backend table it was acting as "Journal field" which is perfect, but in workspace the same field is acting as "HTML" field, not sure where this configuration was defined?

can anyone help me to check where we can check this configuration?

Hi,

The system property dictates whether journal entries (work notes/comments) in Workspaces are displayed as HTML fields or text fields  Go to System Properties (sys_properties.list) and search for glide.ui.journal.use_html if  true make it as false .But this is a global setting and will affect all workspaces. 

or
In UI Builder go to specicfiv record field and Check the Activity Stream Look at the configuration panel on the right. It may have configurations defining the field as a rich text/HTML editor.
or

Open "Work notes" Dictionary for problem table and Look for attributes like use_html=true or similar HTML-related properties in the Attributes field.

Hi @Sathwik1 

Could you please check this page in the UI builder and see if any flags are marked in the HTML? When I checked in the form layout, nothing was showing
