Hi there,

When using the Example text field on a variable, you cannot add new lines.

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

Kind regards,

g_form.getField() isn't really supported but it works.

Create a new Catalog Client Script and set the example text there.

function onLoad() {
	// Example text does not allow new lines.  Set it here instead.
	var portalField = g_form.getField("project_goals_expected_outcomes");
	portalField.placeholder = "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3";
}
