Hi all, Does anybody know how to store data in a rich text field without the HTML tag? There's an example in the knowledge base section; it has 2 columns ("Notes" with the "Rich text" data type to display and save article data with the html tag and "NotHtmlNote" with the "unlimited length data" data type that stores the article value without the html tag), but I don't know how it works.
The way that the OOTB KB area does it is it binds an attribute to the crt.RichTextEditor control's "plainText" property. This returns the text version of the contents. If you view KnowledgeBase_EditPage you'll see the plainText property there
The attribute there is added to the model in the viewModelConfigDiff, which is how it's bound to automatically save to that path.
Also, a side note, there's a process added from the CoPilot stuff which exists in recent versions that can be used as a subprocess for stripping out HTML tags from text, called "Trim html in text". You can use a process and pass in the InputText parameter and you'll get back the text without the HTML tags in the OutputText param. This would be easy to use as a process to save the unformatted text as well.

In our project we are producing with Creatio application some printable document (.pdf and .doc).
In these document we are inserting some Rich Text fields but in the document produced we are not able to visualize/report all the style changes done on the Rich Text field.
As of now, it's not possible to correctly display the field with HTML formatting in the printable.
Our R&D team has already been informed and is currently working on the mentioned issue.
As a workaround suggestion, you can replace the rich text field with a simple text field. We understand that it’s missing the format settings and cannot be applied to tables, but it should work for a sentence or two simple comments.
Thank you for being an active part of the community and helping to make Creatio better!
