Resolution

Job Description, Header and Footer fields are configured as richText fields. These fields contain alphanumeric content with about a 32,000 character limit, including hidden HTML formatting elements, which may lead to excessively long or inconsistent output.

Due to this structure, reporting on these fields is not supported in Ad-Hoc or Story Reports.

As an alternative, reporting on Job Description content can be achieved via Integration Center. For further guidance, refer KBA 2646086 - How to extract Job Requisition Descriptions using Integration Center - Recruiting Management.
