How to display warning message in two lines for validations. I am using char(10) between the warning message however it is displaying in a single line.

Ex: "This is a warning message. "&char(10)&"This should be second line.

Hi ravir,
You can use a richTextDisplay component bellow your input field, I've tried both with char(10) and char(13) but the validations won't span on more lines.

You could just repeat the same piece of validation logic twice, the 1st contains your first line of error text, the 2nd your other line. If the logic isn't overly complex the overhead is minimal.

Hi, the "validations" parameter on a!textField has the type "Text Array" (see forum.appian.com/.../SAIL_Components.html. This allows you to pass in each line of validation that you want to display as a separate element in the array.

Good call from daniell, here's an example for you:
= load(
local!value,
a!textField(
value: local!value,
saveInto: local!value,
validations: if(
local!value = "A",
{
"Text Line 1",
"Text Line 2"
},
null
)
)
)
