How to add new line in client script

How to add new line description field in below client script?
Tried "\n" thing but not working out.

I need description should be look like ,
Description from group: answer
descValue

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {

   if (isLoading || newValue === '') {

        return;

    }

    var descValue = g_form.getValue('u_description');

    var grSysUtils = new GlideAjax('global.sysUtils');

    grSysUtils.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getGroupDesc');

    grSysUtils.addParam('sysparm_groupName', newValue);

    grSysUtils.getXML(updateDesc);

    function updateDesc(response) {

        var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");

        if (descValue != "") {

//Need to add new line in below line

            g_form.setValue('u_description', "Description from group:" + answer + '\n' + descValue);

        } else {

            g_form.setValue('u_description', answer);

        }

    }

}

Hi,

Please try .toString() after answer and descValue. If it does not work please use <br> instead of "\n"

Hello @priyankagavali ,

Please give a try to the script below and see how it works for you.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
    if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
        return;
    }
    var descValue = g_form.getValue('u_description');
    var grSysUtils = new GlideAjax('global.sysUtils');
    grSysUtils.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getGroupDesc');
    grSysUtils.addParam('sysparm_groupName', newValue);
    grSysUtils.getXML(updateDesc);

    function updateDesc(response) {
        var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer").toString();
        if (descValue !== "") {
            // Add a new line using HTML line break tag
            g_form.setValue('u_description', "Description from group: " + answer + '<br>' + descValue.toString());
        } else {
            g_form.setValue('u_description', answer);
        }
    }
}
