CSV import is ignoring carriage returns and linefeeds

[Mike Shkolnik]

I import into the Description field and it imports as one big paragraph with no linefeeds. I used Notepad++ to show hidden characters so I know exactly what's in the file. I tried LF alone as well as CRLF. All are ignored. I also tried non-hidden characters used by Jira to store linefeed data - \n\n - but that just shows up as text in the UI without being interpreted as linefeeds. Any idea how to get Jira import to properly accept my linefeeds?

In Notepad++, try changing the End Of Line setting by selecting Edit > EOL Conversion.

Should you want to change the EOL type used by default in new Notepad++ documents, then you may do so through:

Settings -> Preferences -> New Document/Default Directory -> New Document -> Format -> Windows/Mac/Unix

What should I be changing it to? The Unix standard is LF and the Windows standard is CRLF. I have tried both ways.
