I'm looking for a way to batch remove the formatting on MTEXT that is within a MLEADER, so that the selected style takes over.
We have a bunch of leaders that were copied over and over that had the right style but someone went in and changed the mtext to bold.
So far the only solution I have found is to individually select the multi-leaders, get into the text editor, select all the text, and clear the formatting. I have also considered just changing the text style to be bold to hide the problem. Would prefer a better fix. Thanks.

STRIPMTEXT LISP (works awesome, just tested in AutoCAD 2017 and will remove bolding MTEXT from mleaders, etc.)

I have this problem as well. Running AutoCAD 2020LT but cannot "appload" the lisp.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

There is no workaround for LT users on this topic, you have to do it the hard way one MTEXT at a time, or EXPLODE and rebuild each MTEXT back.

Is it just me or does StripMText not work on Multileaders? Someone has modified the colour of the MText font of one then copied it multiple times. I'm using what I think is the latest version - StripMtext v5-0c

v5-0c should work with mleaders.
Try it with a new mleader and change the color of some characters only, run stripmtext, works?
Upload a copy of your original file (delete all except one mleader with the issue) and we will check the content on our side.

okay,
SMT works as expected (removes the internal paragraph information)
Select your mleader, check out the text content in your properties palette
run SMT ALL oder just paragraph option
check it again -> No the Content-String is without any internal formattings.
BUT, MLeaders are not MTexts, Mleader stores the (M)Text color separat.
SMT is not build to change this, because it isn't a "internal Mtext format".

As I noted in my original post, it's the colour of the text that has been changed within the MText that StripMtext doesn't reset.

Why SMT dosn't reset it, i stated above.
My question to you: Can you reproduce it?
Create a new Mleader with content "123",
check the property palette -> as content you will see just "123"
Now: Change the color this way that the color changed, but the content in properties palette still showing "123" and nothing else.
I have to ask for, because I don't know how to do that (what the data you uploaded shows as fact)
Attached your mleader with removed color information (now it is back - like "ByBlock")

MESSAGE 11 OF 15: "A fresh example works fine"
MESSAGE 12 OF 15: "BUT, MLeaders are not MTexts, Mleader stores the (M)Text color separat.
SMT is not build to change this, because it isn't a "internal Mtext format".
I'm OK with that reply and hopefully, if anyone else is searching for the answer, they'll find it here.
Thanks everyone for your time.

oups, attached now.
@pendean (yes I know, you disabled the mention feature)
I am not sure what you tried to show, but i gues you oversaw that the current mleader color is also yellow,
what was the dumbest choice for an example..
Change the mleader color to another color than yellow to see the issue.
EDIT, Forgot the attachment again, lol.

The Multileader is on layer TEXT which is white, it is also set to Color: ByLayer. The MText part of the Multileader stays Yellow as it has been changed within the Text Formatting dialog. As you noted, StripMtext is not built to change this.

" it is also set to Color: ByLayer."
No it isn't the mleaderobjekt is yellow (not a good choice as sample, set the mleader color to 1, then it is a better sample)
and the internal formatting is also yellow, instead of "bylayer" (what is a wrong wording in Acad, it should be "byBlock" , but this is another fight)
