FX Parent.Default with format HTML

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 7

I'm facing an issue with the Parent.Default function in Power Apps. I have a form that displays details from a data source, and I'm using Parent.Default to access values from the current record in the context of that form. The problem is that when I use Parent. Default to retrieve a field, which may contain HTML formatting, the formatting is displayed as well. I've tried using the Text and HTML Text functions to address this, but I'm still encountering errors or undesired outcomes.

 

Error:

<div class="ExternalClass448B8C3F604E435FBFFC0C836B57323B"><div style="font-family&#58;Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size&#58;11pt;color&#58;rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="color&#58;black;">​TEST</span><br></div></div>

 

I would appreciate any guidance on how to properly retrieve and display the field values using Parent.Default without displaying the HTML formatting. Thank you.

    Thank you for the help, however, now only the latest registered note is showing up. I would like the information to be displayed as in a SharePoint list with change control. In the following way:
