Unwanted special characters in RTF Field
Hi All ,
I have two RTF fields, 1 is Description , 2nd is Temporarly Description
I have a workflow which is updating Values of Temporarly Description with Description.
Problem: If Description contains Special characters like (‘ ,”,&,<,>,^) , after updating field Temporarly Description. Special characters are getting replaced with different characters (for eg: ‘ - ", &-&).
Can anyone suggest how to get rid of this extra characters.
Thanks,
Sagarika

I tried reproducing the issue but the special characters are apperainf properly through workflow update.
Can you please check the field type once and try it.

Thanks For your replay!!
If you will update a long text field with rich text , then it will remove all the html tags.. but the problem here is , it will encode all the special characters.
you can reproduc this by below procedure
1. create a RTF and long text Fiele
2. Create a workflow and field update , which will update long text area field with RTF field data.
3. Enter some data with special character and html tags encoding
any workarround , please let me know !!
