Multi-line confirmation message for the button widget

I don't believe this is possible. I thought it might be possible to use char(10) or char(13) to implement a new line but the confirmMessage property seems to ignore them.

@philb :-) Discussed sometime ago at forum.appian.com/.../e-145736.

@phil: Even I tried the same way, but it is not working.

Hi Vinay,

As far my knowledge we cannot use the sequences "\
" or "\          " HTML Tags in Appian and for that we do have Char(10) or Char(13)

Can u try like create a simple rule inside which u store the value whatever u want and inside which you can use the char() functions..... After that in confirmationMessgae component simply call that rule ...It may work ...

Hi Vinay, the type for the "confirmationMessage" is Text and the new line characters are not supported in plain text.

Hi @vinayakb this can be done using padding right function I am pasting the code below.

a!formLayout(
label: "Form",
contents: {

a!sectionLayout(
label: "Section",
contents: {}
)
},
buttons: a!buttonLayout(
primaryButtons: {
a!buttonWidget(
label: "Submit",
submit: true,
confirmMessage: padright("This is line 1.", 130) & "This is line 2.",
style: "PRIMARY"
)
},
secondaryButtons: {
a!buttonWidget(
label: "Cancel",
value: true,
saveInto: ri!cancel,
submit: true,
style: "NORMAL",
validate: false
)
}
)
)

Output will be
