Scriptrunner: Add line when creating a comment

[Nessrine Hafi]

Hello,

I'm trying to create a scripted post function to add a customized comment which gets the last comment and adds it to a string. I succeeded to display colors and bold but when i try to start a new line it's not working. 

I followed this Wiki page and I added // but it's not working.

Is there anyone familiar with this customization ?

I use \n to create new lines in scripted comments.

Hello @Payne ,

Even /n Worked for me so thank you for your answer :)

Works to and would be my primary usage as well, but tried to stay related to the wiki markup here :) 

As long as it works :p

Hi @Nessrine Hafi , 

the wiki rendering for a newline is actually 

\\

But If you want it in a string scripted, the \ is used for an escape so the next character is printed literally. 

So a new line in a string for a comment would be like this (twice escaping and twice printing):

final String commentBody = "The \\\\ text for your comment, which can include specific value ..."

Hope this helps!
