Line Break in Workflow Scripting

Is there a way to do line breaks `<br/>` in the advanced script portion of a workflow activity:

Example:

task.short_description = "Line1" + "<br/>" + "Line2" + "<br/>";

Thanks.

Hi John,



as it is javascript, could you please replace <br/> to "\n" and test again ?



Kind Regards

Hi Zica,

 

Can you check this please

 

In Catalog task, I am trying to modify 'Description' from workflow based on the drop  

 

if(current.varaiables.zone == "1"){
task.description = "1) XYZ"  + "\n" + "2) ABC" + "\n" "3) 123";

}

when i try using this script in advanced script, this is how description is showing up. Some value is showing in the  Description field, but it is not visible. what i am missing?

 

 

Thanks,

Jay

Hi Josh,



Are you trying to add line break to the short_description of task record?



Thats not even possible, because it is a single line text field.



Thanks

It is actually description
