Additional Information:

DEs of SYS Rich Text type should not be available to be set as Display Element in a Data Picker configuration.
When you create a DE with the DD, the New Data Element window displays one box, at the bottom: Default height of box (in pixels). The value, as entered by the user in this box, will be the default height of the Rich Text Editor DE box, in user mode.
If the source of the data cube definition contains a DE of Rich Text type, then the DE of SYS Rich Text type should be available to be added in data cube definition, the Data Elements tab. The DE is not available to create queries, in the Query tab.
DEs of SYS Rich Text type should be available to be added in the Behavior Set of Dynamic Data Sets.
You can create data views from business and show the data (from the SYS Rich Text DE). When creating a data view, you must join the business process model (that is, the table) with the view "model_richtext," when creating data view to show rich text fields:
- The BP model table holds columns to show data from rich text DE, but if the data is extracted from those columns, it will not be formatted (plain text).
- The model_richtext holds columns from the BP to show rich text fields in HTML format; as a result, if the BP model and the view model_richtext are joined in an SQL query, you should choose columns from the view model_richtext only but not from the BP model.
  Additional expected behavior for following options:
  - Export as CSV: This action gets the rich text DE data as per the column pulled using the SQL query (plain text from BP model or rich text from <model>_richtext).
  - Export as SQL: The HTML elements of rich text should be inserted as null.
