Hello!

Is there a way to convert one rich field to text within the same collection? Perhaps using hooks or any other code? I would like to extract text only out of html

Hi Abe,

Yes, you can use a before or after hook that will parse rich text and store it in a new field as plain text.
Note that there is an NPM module exactly for this task - ‘html-to-text’
