Is My Swagger Multi Line Formatting Incorrect?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2
Hello everyone!
 
I am working on building a Custom Connector and am attempting to edit the definitions for the actions in this Connector by using the Swagger Editor. However, I seem to be experiencing an issue with the color-coded context formatting used by the Swagger editor. 
 
From my research, I thought that the multi-line symbol >- should indicate that any of the following lines are a multi-line string, but ONLY if those lines are indented beyond the level of the line >- symbol: 
 
 
However, in the Swagger editor for Custom Connectors, it is marking ALL of the text after the indented text in the same GREEN color as my multi-line string, which throws off the color coding of the rest of the document until the end of that entire section of definitions:  
 
 
The only way I've successfully gotten the color formatting to behave correctly is to use single quotes around my strings and convert them to single-line strings. 
 
Is this normal behavior? Am I using the >- symbol incorrectly? Is there some other symbol I should be using for multi-line entries like this? Any help/insight would be greatly appreciated.

    Yeah, it looks like it doesn't recognize the x-ms-summary and other properties but as part of the description.

    Can you move them to before the description?

    Happy to help out 😁
