Setting default value for Enhanced Rich Text field. Sharepoint

I'm trying to set default text on Enhanced Rich Text field in Default New Form. I tried code from here and here and some other places, but nothing works for me.

My target field doesn't have a title, so I try to select it by it's ID. 

var DesciptionID = "ctl00_m_g_80cbe371_4e9b_405f_afdd_b251a2b45ec2_ctl00_ctl05_ctl01_ctl00_ctl00_ctl04_ctl00_ctl00_TextField_inplacerte";
var ImpactBoxID = "ctl00_m_g_80cbe371_4e9b_405f_afdd_b251a2b45ec2_ctl00_ctl05_ctl03_ctl00_ctl00_ctl04_ctl00_ctl01";

$(document).ready($(function() {
  $("#"+ImpactBoxID).change(function() {
    if(this.checked) { 
      alert("checked");
      $("#"+DesciptionID).val("paragraph"); // <<<<

      $(":input[title=Title]").val("here is title"); //this one works. single line field. it also has a title
    }
  });

I was able to achieve my goal on plain text, but i need enhanced one.

Also here is whole cell in case I'm getting the wrong ID.

I think what you want to do is check your selectors, is that ID consistent? In my experience, it's not.

I would change them to be this (NOTE: assuming divs):

$(function () {
    $("#" + ImpactBoxID).change(function () {
        if (this.checked) {
            $('div[id$="TextField_inplacerte"').text("paragraph"); // $= means "ends with"
                                                                   // also unless it's an input use text instead. Val sets input values.
            $(":input[title=Title]").val("here is title"); //this one works. single line field. it also has a title
        }
    });
});
