How to add line breaks to text added with post functions

You can create a line break for the text in the issue Description (for example), by including \\ in the text you define - add \\ before the appended text or after the prepended text, OR by adding it as a separator.

Instructions

Perform the below steps to obtain a multiline description.

1. Within the post function of your choice, in our example “Create A Linked Issue”, under Sub-Functions add “Copy to New” to copy the original description, if you pretend to have the original description.

2. Then under Sub-Functions, add a “Set” and fill it with the text you pretend to append or prepend. To achieve the multiline description, use the backslashes as separator: \\ .

4. Then, publish the workflow changes, so the workflow is active.

5. Perform the transition you configured. The result should look like the one below. The prepended text is added first and separated by a line break from the original description. The appended text goes after the original description and has a line break before it.
