Strip HTML from Rich Text Fields on List View or Report Export
When exporting a reporting that includes rich text fields, the export includes unrendered HTML. This HTML then needs to be stripped out to make the content of the report readable.
Suggest to add an option on the report and list view export to strip html from the export. Include a tooltip to advise that this will impact formatting.

Check out the attached file.....the export needs significant clean up as a result of the formating code. Would be wonderful if this would export as a useable file without the work to remove the coding.

This is a needed change! A report with HTML code requires extra work to clean up and be useful.

I see this being very beneficial for research clients. On L2 Reviews, reviewers sometimes provide multi-paragraph answers with organized/unorganized lists as well in rich text fields. Exported reports containing this data are difficult to read due to the inclusion of the html tags.

This would be useful if optional. While the tags make reading messy, there are times when knowing what formatting was originally intended is necessary. This is especially the case when the field has multiple paragraphs and even a list or two included...

This would be a welcomed addition as it allows users to take advantage of Rich Text Fields for improved formatting when completing applications.
