How do I add a line break inside the Edit Object automation node for a textarea attribute?

Josh Schoenick

I have a Notes attribute on an object. It is presumed that this field already contains text.

Via automation I'm using a For AQL branching node to select the object from Assets

Then for that object I'm using the Edit Object node to edit the Notes attribute.

I have it working to add the value of a custom field and the previous Notes value.

{{issue.customfield_99999}} {{object.Notes}}

But no matter what I do, I cannot create a line break between the two to create a visual separation between the two.

For Edit Issue, you have a multi-line component which allows you to insert the line break manually in the Edit Issue node.

For Edit Object, it's rendered as a text component, not a multi-line component.

{{issue.customfield_99999}} /r/n {{object.Notes}} renders the /r/n literally
{{issue.customfield_99999}} <br> {{object.Notes}} renders as a space.

Hi @Josh Schoenick 

For more context, please show images of your complete rule, the Edit Object action, and the audit log details showing the rule execution.

Kind regards,
