Hi @Abhilasha G T  ,

You can fix this by creating a Before Business Rule on the  table that runs when a record is created. The rule will get the Description field value, remove the field names like Summary and Symptoms, and clean the content before the record is inserted into the database.

business rule  script :

add this script in your businness rule 

var desc = current.description + '';

// Remove field names "Summary" and "Symptoms" (case-insensitive)
desc = desc.replace(/^Summary\s*/im, '');
desc = desc.replace(/^Symptoms\s*/im, '');

// Remove extra line breaks
desc = desc.replace(/\n+/g, '\n').trim();

// Update the Description field
current.description = desc;

if you  already have too many records in the table then you can run the background script or fix scripts 

thanks,

Hi @TejasSN_LogicX ,

Hi @Abhilasha G T I’m not sure what your use case is, but before you proceed, please check whether the description field length is sufficient to store both the summary and the description together. I don’t think combining everything is a good approach. We faced a similar issue earlier when importing data into the system in the same way. It would be better to first implement the solution properly and then make the change, or run a script to fix the issue afterward.
