Add line break in Confirmation message of button

Certified Senior Developer

Hi,

I have a local variable local!tasks containing a list.

In the confirmation message of a button I would like to concatenate a text with the local variable.

Eg : Are you sure want to & local!tasks

I want to display the list of tasks in next line 

eg : Are you sure want to 

task1

task2

task3

inside confirmation message of a button

I am using char(10) but it is not working as expected. Is there any way to show like this in confirmation message of a button?

  • I've long been wishing they'd upgrade these to accept at least some limited richtext, or perhaps even just linebreaks, but sadly so far these (and basic validation messages) are stuck only displaying plaintext.

    Edit: ironically just yesterday (2024-12-11) I discovered basically by accident that TOOLTIPS (field tooltips as well as rich text captions etc) all now seem to accept LINEBREAKS (i.e. the "char(10)" command), which opens up new areas of possibility for formatting.  Sadly this does not seem to apply to the button confirmation pop-up message, though it might(?!?) apply to the button confirmation HEADER (lol).  BTW, if anyone is still on a version LOWER than 24.4, I'd love to confirm whether this feature is new with 24.4 or if we just haven't noticed it before.
