    The issue you are experiencing is due to the rich text content in your SharePoint list field. When the value is displayed in PowerApps, it includes HTML tags along with the desired text. This happens because the field is storing the content in HTML format. 

     

    However, you can user Html text control to display the value.

    1. Delete the existing textbox control or hide it by changing visible property.
    2. Add an HtmlText control to your form in the same position as the deleted textbox control
    3. Set the HtmlText control's Text property to the Default property value of textbox. ( ThisItem.ManagerApprovalCommentField )
