Hello,
Recently, we have noticed that hyperlinks created within the rich text editor component have been getting an additional string attached in the HTML code. The additional string added is 'rel="noopener noreferrer"'. Is this behavior expected? The additional string is causing some issues in interfaces where we extract the HTML links from the component value and display them separately.
Any information is appreciated!

We aren't going to be able to make an update to remove this attribute. I'd suggest just enhancing your logic to account for that string. When you are doing the extraction in Appian, you can probably just remove that substring from the full richTextValue variable and pretend it doesn't exist for the purposes of your logic.

What component are you using? richTextField or richTextFieldWithTables ?
