How do you remove HTML <p> formatting from form field?

[MBarrott]

I have a description field on demand task form. Users can input a description from the Create a Demand catalog item.

The issue I'm seeing is that the data they provide is coming in within <p></p> HTML on either end (see screenshot)

Is there a simple solution to remove these tags?

Hi @MBarrott , 

You can add system property by referring to the below thread:

Create a new system property with the name:

glide.ui.escape_html_list_field property

Update value = false

Hello @MBarrott ,

Please use regex. Something as below to remove the HTML tags and then set the value in field.

var desc=current.yourhtmlfieldname;
desc= desc.replace(/<\/?[^>]+(>|$)/g, "");
