Question

New line character in Laserfiche Forms

Forms

Updated May 19, 2014

asked on May 19, 2014

Is there a character or set of characters I can use when data is automatically inserted in a multiline field via a look up in Laserfiche Forms? For example, lets say I have the text in a sql table as "line one line two line three". When It gets inserted into the multiline form field, it displays as

line one line two line three

I'd like it to display as

line one

line two

line three

There isn't an easy way to do that. Lookup values are displayed "as is" without any formatting. Blake's suggestion doesn't work either because Forms does not render html in input fields (which is working as intended).

You can try using JavaScript to format the lookup data first before entering it into a field. That wouldn't really be an elegant solution though.

<br> is the html break code. Have you tried that?
