Hi there all experts.
Recently I have write a JS that modify the description of the quote.
The functionality works fine,
But I do now know why it removes the new line character(/n).

My description is sentence by sentence.
At the beginning of each sentence there is a dash character (-).

Here is the script.

function addServices(ServiceNames) {
    var descriptionAttribute=Xrm.Page.getAttribute("description");
    var descFieldText = descriptionAttribute.getValue();
    var txt=validateIfExist(descFieldText); // It search for a specified sentence in the description and return that if that exist.
     if(ServiceNames) {
		if(txt) {
    descFieldText=descFieldText.replace(txt, "It Includes : " 
      arvandServiceNames); 
    descriptionAttribute.setValue(descFieldText); 
    Xrm.Page.data.entity.save();   
		}
	 }
  }

It works fine and replace the description with desired text.
But It removes all the new line(/n).

How can I handle it so that I can keep new line?

Any help will be appreciated.

Hey Albert,

Unfortunately from what you shared it is hard to give a concrete answer.

This really depends on how the description / string is stored in the Database.

I would start by checking the Quote Description attribute from the WebAPI in order to understand how the newlines are stored: https://<orgname>.crm<region>.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.1/quotes(<quoteid>)

It is also important to check the final value of the "descFieldText" after the replace with "It Includes : " + arvandServiceNames. We don't know the content of "arvandServiceNames" so this might also require a quick check.

If you have additional info based on this please let us know so we can help you further.
