I'm a complete newbie whose stumbled into PowerApps simply because I wanted to create a custom form for a Sharepoint list.

I have a column in my Sharepoint List called Narrators and it's type is set to Multiple lines of text.

When I created the custom form app from this, the datacardvalue for this column displays in the app as <div class="ExternalClass.....

I understand that this is the division for the multiple lines of text but how do I get this to display as a multi line text box and not as code? I've set it's mode to Multiline but the code is still showing

A better solution for most people for this is to change the type of text to Rich text instead of enchanced rich text.

Re: div class showing in datacardvalue

Hello I had the same issue. Because it took hours to find the solution, I want to share my experience with you. I connected Power App with a SharePoint list. The aim was to create a form in Power Apps that fill the lines in the SharePoint List. I've got the div class in the value I entered into the Power App field. The solution was quite simple. I had to change the column settings. While I created the column, unfortunately I activated "Use enhanced rich text". After I cleared the option, I just gained the text and no HTML code.

Re: div class showing in datacardvalue

This is such a beautifully simple solution! Exactly what I was looking for, especially since I do not want rich text and my SharePoint list data ultimately is used in excel worksheets. You are fantastic!
I successfully used PlainText(Parent.Default) on all of my multi-line boxes and eliminated the HTML coding.

Re: div class showing in datacardvalue

I've stumped at this issue for a while either. My solution to set the default as "PlainText(Parent.Default)". This formula helps to remove html tags and display only text.
