Multi-line issue with text areas

[bperun123]

Thanks for your fast reply.

I think I found one more issue at text areas:

If I update a multiline statically, everything works fine:

However, if I switch back to the payload of the text area, it breaks:

Maybe you can check on your side, if this is also an issue which should be fixed.
I assume an issue at payload converting in terms of multi-line strings...

Thanks a lot :)

@bperun123 Thanks for the question.

We will add appropriate updates to the documentation. It is an interesting case.

Create Payload code editor should contain the following logic:

1. Find element refer to TextArea
2. Add replace logic to value payload[element.id] = element.value.replaceAll("\n", "\\n");

here is example

const payload = {};

context.panel.elements.forEach((element) => {
  if (!element.value) {
    return;
  }

  /**
   * Required logic to update the value 
   */
  if (element.id === 'description2') {
    payload[element.id] = element.value.replaceAll("\n", "\\n");
    return;
  }

  payload[element.id] = element.value;
})


console.log('console >>> upd payload', payload)

/**
 * Data Source payload
 */
return payload;

This allows the line break to be properly converted

Here is my full example, please base it on it
