Code showing in single line

[SD2024]

Why does code show in a single long line in some screens? An example is the UX Style Colors form where I was editing the menu background colour. How do I get it to show multiple lines so that it's more easily readable and shows the different line numbers, like it does in client scripts?

@SD2024 To improve the readability of your code in ServiceNow and show it on multiple lines (with line numbers and proper formatting), make sure to switch to the Script Editor where available. You can also manually format the code with line breaks and indentation or use an external code editor to format your code and then paste it back into the field. This will help you manage the code more easily and make the editing process more efficient.

Hi @SD2024 

This is an expected behavior for the style field, we need to format it according to our needs. As auto-formatting for this style field is not available.

Hello @SD2024 

To format the style , copy the code in script background and format it. 

Note: create a variable obj and store the style to it before formatting to avoid getting error.

Example: 

This will format the style and same can be copied back to UX style.
