Retain Carriage Return or Line breaks

Certified Senior Developer

Hi,

I have a paragraph field in my interface, I am sending the user comments from this field into email. The line breaks are not retained and all the text is displayed in a single line.

So I have figured out that, if I can store the expression type of the data into local variable, I can replace the char(10) with </br> while passing into email. 

I need help in storing the expression format of the value. How can I do that?

  • Store the value of the paragraph field in a variable, and when you need to use it , replace the value with an expression rule


    For example

    Interface :

    a!localVariables(
    local!texto,
    a!formLayout(
    label: "Form",
    contents: {
    a!sectionLayout(
    contents: {}
    ),
    a!sectionLayout(
    label: "Section",
    contents: {}
    ),
    a!paragraphField(
    label: "Paragraph",
    labelPosition: "ABOVE",
    saveInto: {local!texto},
    refreshAfter: "UNFOCUS",
    height: "MEDIUM",
    validations: {}
    )
    ,
    /*This is only for testing purposes in order to check how it works*/
    a!paragraphField(
    label: "Paragraph",
    labelPosition: "ABOVE",
    saveInto: {local!texto},
    refreshAfter: "UNFOCUS",
    height: "MEDIUM",
    validations: {},
    value: rule!D_formatText(local!texto)--> This is the expression rule
    )
    },


    ))

    Expression rule:

    a!localVariables(

    substitute(ri!texto, fn!char(10), "<br>")
    )
