Issue
In the ServiceNow Agent App (Madrid release), fields configured as HTML or Translated HTML appear as plain text instead of rendering the intended formatting.
Symptoms
Facts
As a workaround you can create a URL type applet that links to the Service Portal knowledge page:

Release
Agent Mobile App
Cause
This is expected behavior in the Madrid release.
The Agent App does not support rendering HTML or Translated HTML fields as formatted content in this version.
Resolution
This limitation has been tracked under PRB1328443.
There is currently no patch fix for Madrid, but future enhancements may address this behavior.
Workaround
You can create a URL-type applet to redirect users to a supported platform (e.g., Service Portal) for proper HTML rendering.
