description & expected result should be printed in plain text format when data is imported in excel via report builder

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

While exporting the report using report builder, the data in particular columns ( description, expected result) were coming as URL's instead of plain text. The issue is only observed when importing the data into excel using the link available in add to existing spreadsheet. 

If description & expected result are printing plain text instead of url's, it will help user in filtering the data efficiently.

    Thank you for submitting the idea. IBM Engineering team review board evaluated this request and determined it will need additional information to evaluate this request.

    You stated that you would like to have plain text when using Report Builder export functionality. An example used is a description & expected result to print plain text instead of URLs. From the other perspective, if a URL is not provided, customers who want to open the link will not be able to with plain text. Also, if HTML tags were removed, then customers who are using exported data for their non-ELM systems, would be missing data. Therefore, could you further clarify what would you like to be removed? Is it just URLs or URLs and HTML tags or both or something else?
