How to replace HTML tags in description field?

Question

Hi, i try to create a manual automation rule which can to replace(or delete and save only text in desc. field) HTML tags (

;

;
) with empty value in description field. The fact is that there is a third-party service through which tasks for Jira are created and in the Description field, customers often highlight something with color or something related to HTML. There is no official solution to this problem, so I try to get out through the automation rules. Can anyone suggest how to implement this?

I found a way to work with HTML tags through an automation rule. It is not ideal and for each specific case, most likely, you will have to either supplement the existing rule, or create a new one. But in my case, I have specific text and specific tags, so this method worked perfectly.

I am just using the function to replace a specific tag with an empty value.

So, by analogy with any other tags or even entire HTML constructions.
