Power Scripts - Line break in a validator message

[Błażej O_]

Hi,

I want my SIL validator to return a following message:

"Following fields cannot be empty:
* Field1
* Field2"

However, when validator returns above message, it removes all line breaks and condenses everything to a single-line sentence.:

"Following fields cannot be empty:* Field1* Field2"

I've tried all the nice and nasty tricks that came to my mind, and none of these worked:

* putting \n instead of normal line breaks

* putting \\\\

* putting <br>

* putting &#13;&#10;

* returning array of strings instead of a single string

Is there any workaround to achieve a multiline validator message through SIL?

Hello,

Kindly try \n

Hi,

I mistyped slashes here, but of course in the code I've tried "\n" (already corrected above).

On screen it was just removed from message, but didn't cause it to break into new line.

I just made some research. You will not be able to do it because the message is escaped in Jira's vm template.

Dang, Wish I could escape escaping by injecting code in right format:) Anyway, thanks for the effort and finding a source of the problem!

I always typing “\r\n” (without quotes) for line breaks with sil or JavaScript

Good hint:) Unfortunately not working in validation message.
