Script Runner - Description formatting

Adam Walker_yxcosm

I am using Script Runner to create subtasks automatically within a project. Along with this I am trying to populate a description fro these subtasks.

Using code like this:

issue.description = 'Some Text. Next line of text."

My problem is I cannot get any line break into the description. Is there a way to do this?

EDIT: Things I have tried but did not work. "////", "//", "/r/n", "/n", "&NewLine;", "
", "
", " ", " "

Hi Adam,

Try using "\\\\" for line break.

Hi Adam,

Try using "\\\\" for line break.

I think it should just

issue.description = 'Some Text.\nNext line of text."

Thanks Taha, unfortunately this just got me a bunch of slashes in my description.

Thanks Jamie, I tried this as well at /r/n and both just printed out the characters.

Hi Adam, I have tested running this and both "\\\\" and "\n" are giving line break. Would you mind double checking again. What I can see in the description of this answer you have use *Forward Slash*(/) instead of *Back Slash* (\). Hope this helps. Taha

The answers are not working for me, so I hope someone can help diagnose my problem with carriage return. I used this:

description: "Meetings with product team - management/leadership to design of agile roles and agile teams (scrum or kanban). \n Create requests for JIRA project(s) to Agile Tools team"

And got this: Meetings with product team - management/leadership to design of agile roles and agile teams (scrum or kanban). \n Create requests for JIRA project(s) to Agile Tools team

I used this:

description: "Meetings with product team - management/leadership to design of agile roles and agile teams (scrum or kanban). \\\\ Create requests for JIRA project(s) to Agile Tools team"

And got this:

Meetings with product team - management/leadership to design of agile roles and agile teams (scrum or kanban). \\\\ Create requests for JIRA project(s) to Agile Tools team

Any ideas?

Replace \n with  : Use replaceAll("\n", " ") to replace newline characters with HTML line breaks before setting the error message.

summaryField.setError(errorMessage.replaceAll("\n", " "))

This approach ensures that the error message is displayed with line breaks in environments where \n might not be interpreted correctly.
