No line breaks in text copied from Excle columns.

Hi. All

If you copy an Excel column in PowerAutomate Desktop and paste it into a text field, it will be pasted with no line breaks.

The Excel columns are text containing hyphens (attached:excel.png)
*After pasting (attached:nonewline.png)

Is there any solution to this problem?
