Hi,

 

You need to use regex. Something as below.

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

 

Try below in background script once.

var desc='<p>test1</p>';
gs.print('Original '+desc);

desc= desc.replace(/<\/?[^>]+(>|$)/g, "");
gs.print('html sanitized:'+desc);

Output:

It's also possible to use an undocumented function of GlideSPScriptable

GlideSPScriptable().stripHTML(yourHtmlStr)
