Posted on by JD-09041325-0

Is there a way to insert a line break in the message of a confirm function?

Based on the various results on Google, I've tried using the following but none work.

Char(10)
Char(13)
"\r"
"\n"
"\r\n"
"<br>"

Confirm("Are you sure you want to Archive this task?"&Char(13)&var_ItemTitle)

Hey @JD-09041325-0

I believe the best way to achieve this is to use the 'Title' and 'Subtitle' options:

Heres the code I used for the above:

If(

Confirm(

"Are you sure you want to delete this record?",

{

Title: "Example Title",

Subtitle: "Example SubTitle",

ConfirmButton: "Delete",

CancelButton: "Cancel"

}

),

Remove(YourDataSource, Gallery1.Selected);

Notify("Record deleted.", NotificationType.Success)

)

The Confirm() function in Power Apps does not support line breaks because it renders a native dialog that ignores formatting characters like Char(10), "\n", or

HTML tags.

If you need multi-line messages, the recommended approach is to create a custom confirmation popup using a container and label, where line breaks using

Char(10) will work correctly or you can follow Bezanca's suggestion as best approach.

Hi@JD-09041325-0,

In Power Apps, the built-in Confirm function (which shows a simple confirmation dialog) does not support line breaks or multi-line messages. The message parameter is rendered as plain text without interpreting newline characters like Char(10) or Char(13).

If you need to show a multi-line confirmation or message with line breaks, the recommended approach is to create a custom confirmation dialog using a combination of controls (e.g., a Label or Text control inside a Popup or a visible container) where you can format the text freely, including line breaks.

I am sure some clues I tried to give. If these clues help to resolve the issue brought you by here, please don't forget to check the box Does this answer your question? At the same time, I am pretty sure you have liked the response!

Hi @JD-09041325-0

I just tested this and I was able to insert line breaks by entering <shift><enter> in the confirmation text.

Set(var_ConfirmText, "Are you sure you want to archive this task? "); Set(var_ItemTitle, "Example Title"); If( Confirm( var_ConfirmText & var_ItemTitle, { Title: "Confirm Archive" } ), //Archive the record here Notify("Record archived.", NotificationType.Success) )

This then produces a confirmation that includes the line breaks.

All Confirm dialogs I create are titled "An embedded page... says". This didn't happen the other week, so I'm hoping this is a glitch that has just been introduced and will be resolved.
