    Hi @nattt7 ,

     

    The compose3 is "items('Apply_to_each')?['testMT']". It is not necessary.

    testMT is my multiple lines of text column name.

    This method is used on how to display multiple lines of text in an email.

    The expression in my flow:

    replace(item()?['ColumnName'],outputs('Compose'),'<br>')

     

    Thanks for reading.

    Hi,

    This is because you first put the multi-line text into the HTML table, and if you want the multi-line text in the html table to be displayed in the body of the email, you need to modify the output of the html action. Something like this:
