Adding new lines into a task description

Hi

 

I am trying to add two blank lines between text and field values on a task description.

 

I am using task.description in the script part of the create task workflow item to define the description for the task to be created.

 

For example:

 

task.description = " Change plan " + current.change_plan

 

and I need two empty lines between Change plan and current.change_plan

 

I have tried both "\n" and "<br/>" to create the additional lines but they are being displayed in the description instead of the extra lines.

 

Where am I going wrong?

 

Any help would be most appreciated.

 

Thanks

How about:



task.description = " Change plan " + String.fromCharCode(13) + current.change_plan;



Not sure it'll work but it's worth a try.

that is a string field .. not sure HTML is gonna work there ...


Thanks Harish & Chris



I will try both of these options.
