Hey guys,
Wondering if there is a way to add line breaks into property expressions within property manager, for GDL its \n but the backslash character doesnt seem to function within property manager, and i guess it would need to be an operator or such?
Cheers Sam

It seems string type properties can't be multiline, if you copy-paste a multiline string from description to value, the newline is lost.
Using TEXTJOIN ( "\n";...) inserts "n" into the string, as if it is an invalid escape character.
Using TEXTJOIN ( "\\n";...) inserts "\n" into the string which will be interpreted as a newline if you use the string's value in GDL TEXT command, but stays \n in IES.

Thanks for the brainstorm peter, I guess just have to wait and hope they add in a new line command feature within property expression editor. (The idea i was attempting to achieve was to split a single property expression string result, across multiple lines. )
