Confiforms: How to do export WYSIWYG Field Content Without HTML Tags

[Dorothy De Pina]

I’m currently working with ConfiForms and using the WYSIWYG editor field to collect rich text input. However, when I export the data (e.g., to Excel or CSV), the content from the WYSIWYG field appears as raw HTML tags instead of preserving the visual formatting.

Could you please recommend the best approach to export WYSIWYG field content while keeping the formatting intact — or at least rendered cleanly (e.g., as styled text or plain text with structure) instead of raw HTML?

Thank you in advance for your guidance.

You can customize the export as per https://wiki.vertuna.com/spaces/CONFIFORMS/pages/8159460/Data+Export+tricks+and+hints#DataExporttricksandhints-CustomisingexportsviaConfiFormsViews and in the mentuioned format you can also use the functions and field (value) transformations

Including "extractText" function https://wiki.vertuna.com/spaces/CONFIFORMS/pages/2359385/Virtual+functions to extract only text from an HTML value
