Add Paragraphs to a multiline text box in a form when emailing

Posted on by Dave-ITMan

Hi Experts,

 

I have the below code in the body of an email (OnSuccess of a form), 1st Approver Comments and 2nd Approver Comments are a multiline text box that currently comes through in the email in one line rather than in paragraphs as the user has filled it out, I believe I need to use CHAR 10 or CHAR 13 for this but can you advise where I need to add that in please? 

 

 

<b>1st Stage Comments: </b>" & EditForm_1.LastSubmit.'1st Approver Comments'&"<br>
<b>2nd Stage Comments: </b>" & 	EditForm_1.LastSubmit.'2nd Approver Comments'&"<br><br>

 

 

Thanks in advance

    Hi @WarrenBelz ,

     

    Yes, that's what i'm using but it's putting all the text on one line e.g. test description of change line 3 and it should be:

     

    test description of change

     

    line 3

     

    Regards

    Hi,

     

    I've worked this out using the below code if anyone else has this issue in future

     

    <b>1st Stage Comments: </b>" & Substitute(EditForm_1.LastSubmit.'1st Approver Comments', Char(10), "<br>") &"<br>
<b>2nd Stage Comments: </b>" & 	Substitute(EditForm_1.LastSubmit.'2nd Approver Comments', Char(10), "<br>") &"<br><br>

    @Dave-ITMan ,

    That is not really evident from your initial post, but glad you solved it
