Email body in html field

Hi all,

 

I have a flow designer where the trigger is inbound email. I'm creating a request after the trigger where I need to populate the email body in the description field and the subject in the short description. I used the data pill but it didn't work. I even tried the below script which didn't work either.

 

var ritmDesc = fd_data.trigger.email.body;
return ritmDesc;
 
Can anyone help here.

Short description works well whereas the description is not. 

@Vikram3
