How to Preserve Line breaks while copying and pasting the text from String field to HTML field?

[pjsnow]

Hi All - I want to preserve the line breaks while copying and pasting the text from String field to HTML field. Below is the screen shot that I am facing trouble with. And I am using a UI Action for copying and pasting. Any help is really appreciated.

client.u_m1 = current.u_m

Thanks

If your string is picking up on the newline characters in the top text box, you could try a string.replace(/\n/g, '<br></br>') to replace the javascript new lines with with HTML line breaks when it moves it to the lower text box.
