When copying HTML field to Journal field using Client script Tags are getting copied?

How should we remove tags and copy only content from HTML field to Journal field using Client script?

[Mohith Devatte]

hello @VIKAS45 ,

Put your HTML code inside [code] tag and then try to populate it in journal field 

 Example:

[code]<a href="http://www.service-now.com">ServiceNow</a>[/code] 

Also before using code tag you need to check if this property is set to true in your instance in system properties table 

glide.ui.security.codetag.allow_script - should be true 

Hope this helps

Hi @VIKAS45 ,

When copying content from an HTML field to a Journal field  using a client script, you  want to remove any HTML tags and copy only the plain text content. Here's how you can achieve that:

Assuming you have an HTML field named html_field and a Journal field named journal_field, you can use this code as 

// Get the HTML field value
var htmlFieldValue = g_form.getValue('html_field');

// Remove HTML tags using a regular expression
var plainTextContent = htmlFieldValue.replace(/<[^>]*>/g, '');

// Set the plain text content to the Journal field
g_form.setValue('journal_field', plainTextContent);
In this script:

g_form.getValue('html_field') retrieves the value from the HTML field.
The regular expression /<[^>]*>/g matches HTML tags in the text.
.replace(/<[^>]*>/g, '') replaces all occurrences of HTML tags with an empty string, effectively removing them.
Finally, g_form.setValue('journal_field', plainTextContent) sets the plain text content to the Journal field.
