Add a new line in string field in record producer

Riaz3 · ‎09-15-2019

Hi,

Does anyone know how to add a new line in a record producer?

I have this code

current.description = (('what is the need?') + (' ') + producer.What_is_it_that_you_need)
+ (' ') + (' ') +
(('when do you need it?') + (' ') + producer.When_do_you_need_it);

I would like to add a new line from (('when do you need it?') + (' ') + producer.When_do_you_need_it);

Thanks

Hi Riaz,

Use the "\n" escape character to insert a new line in your text string:

current.description = 'what is the need?' + '\n' + producer.What_is_it_that_you_need + '\n\n' + 'when do you need it?' + '\n' + producer.When_do_you_need_it;

if written more clearly:

current.description = 'what is the need?\n';
current.description += producer.what_is_it_that_you_need + '\n\n';
current.description += 'when do you need it?\n';
current.description += producer.when_do_you_need_it;

Give it a try. Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Manish

Hi,

Please try:

current.description = 'What is the need? ' + producer.What_is_it_that_you_need + '\n' + 'When do you need it? ' + producer.When_do_you_need_it;

So this trims things down for you and adds a space after the question so you don't need extra long code adding in more + ' ' + etc.

This also adds a line break between the first question and answer and the second question and answer.

Please mark reply as Helpful/Correct, if applicable. Thanks!

Hi,

So did my reply/code not work for you? I believe I read your post/reply correctly and what you wanted?

Just wanted to make sure if I read your post correctly.
