Posted on by Ashish Moradiya 515

Hello,

There is no calculated field option for Multiple Lines of Text field, see attached image

[View:https://www.screencast.com/t/f4LdXdf1ZSM:750:50]

Is there any other way to create Target field that can contain new line (\n) character? 

For e.g is it possible to use Single Line of Text data type and concatenating it with New line character?

Thanks,

Ashish

    It is not possible to convert a single line text field to a multi-line text field. Instead you should create a new multi-line text field and move the data from the old field to the new field.

    You can create many single line calculated, and a multible line field, then create work flow,

    or business rule to merge single line filed to multible line filed.

    What are you trying to achieve?

    This is possible by using a workflow and "Append With" the info you would like to add to the multiple lines of text field.

    Thanks all for your suggestions, finally I managed with Javascript

    function MyFunction()

    {

    var option = Xrm.Page.getAttribute('new_piclist').getText();

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute('new_cf2').setValue(option + '\n' + option);

    }

    another example of something that should be easy to do but requires more work (and maintenance) by the creator instead of included by Microsoft.
