Message line breaks

Hello, wondering if I could get some help if someone's had this issue before.

I intend to use table sys_ui_message (messages) in order to add some field messages in a client script. The only downside is that I cant add any line breaks. I can do this all in the client script which isnt an issue using '\n' however I don't want to make it clunky.

For example in the message if I type,

My name is Dave.

I like to go hiking.

The field message shows as.
My name is dave. I like to go hiking.

Any ideas?

Hi, I found the answer and it’s a limitation of field messages, unfortunately you can’t add line breaks, even if you do it all in the script \n just doesn’t work. Not a problem though I’ve just had to separate it into 2 messages. 

Thanks for your help.

Hi Andrew
Depending on where you use the message, you can use HTML tags like <br> to insert a line break.
I had the same issue and was using the Message in an Email, where HTML is interpreted so that worked perfectly for me.

Hope this helps.
