Adding a field description in the field configuration for a JSM project generates broken help text in request type form and customer portal

Issue Summary

Steps to Reproduce

1. In the field configuration for a company managed JSM project do the following:
   1. search for the attachment field
   2. Make it required by clicking on 'Show' in the 'Actions' column
   3. Click on 'Edit' in the 'Actions' column and add a description to the field (e.g. "Updated from the UI)
      
2. Now, in the settings of the JSM project create a new request type
   

Expected Results

The field description you have configured in step #1 is used as the help text

Actual Results

The text you entered as the field description is surrounded by the HTML tags for paragraph (<p> and </p>) in the request type form configuration as well as in the Customer Portal:

Workaround

Edit the text by hand and remove the HTML tags from: Project Configuration -> Request Types -> Request Form
