Email Script: Formatting of Lines in a string so each line has a bullet

[DarkWingII]

Hi All

I have an email script that pulls in the data from a field, and as long as the data is one long string of text the formatting is right.

i have selected Newlines to HTML so every line in the string is a new line.

this does make every line to a new line, but these lines have no formatting and
i would like each new line to be formatted the same, in this case indented with a bullet

this is the base script:

(function runMailScript(/* GlideRecord */ current, /* TemplatePrinter */ template,
/* Optional EmailOutbound */ email, /* Optional GlideRecord */ email_action,
/* Optional GlideRecord */ event) {

// Add your code here
if (current.u_what_is_happening_pt3 != '') {
template.print('<ul><li>' + current.u_what_is_happening_pt3.getDisplayValue() + '</li></ul>');
}
})(current, template, email, email_action, event);

this is the field with text

this is what appears on the email

and this is what i get when previewing, which is better because it looks indented

Any help would be appreciated

Hi @DarkWingII,

Try this updated scripts in Email scritps -

(function runMailScript( /* GlideRecord */ current, /* TemplatePrinter */ template,
	/* Optional EmailOutbound */
	email, /* Optional GlideRecord */ email_action,
	/* Optional GlideRecord */
	event) {

	// Add your code here

	var str = [];
	if (current.u_what_is_happening_pt3 != '') {
		str = current.u_what_is_happening_pt3.toString().split("\n");
	}

	for (var i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
		template.print('<ul><li>' + str[i] + '</li></ul>');
	}
})(current, template, email, email_action, event);

Thanks!
