While Copying HTML field to Journal field using Client Script and removing HTML Tags &nbsp is still  seen?

// 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);

How to remove &nbsp which is still seen after copying?

Can you try below.

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

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

//remove &nbsp
var plainTextContentis=plainTextContent.replace(/&nbsp/g','');

// Set the plain text content to the Journal field
g_form.setValue('journal_field', plainTextContentis);

Hey All,

Can someone help me understand why this does not remove the &nbsp? 

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

//remove &nbsp
plainTextContent = plainTextContent.replace(/&nbsp/g','');

Why do we need to declare a new variable in the second statement? Why aren't we able to simply reuse the first variable and store a new value in it that removes the &nbsp?

Thank you!
