Allow to put "end of line text" (enter) to expression based properties

Hi there,

I would like to be able put "end of the line text" to expression in properties. Basically Enter at the end of the line.


The reason is simple. When making schedule for eg. windows/doors, I want to merge all properties into one column. It is a standard from the firm I work in.
The only way how to visibly divide the text now is either input separator (eg ";") or use tabulator (with this I am able to make the text jump on next line in most of the cases but not every time).

 

Kind regards
Karel

Try using \n in text. What follows this will be on a new line.

Thank you for your comment but this does not work.

If I place "\n" to the expression for property the "\" will be deleted automatically after confirming so no end of line/start of new line will happen.

Here is an example what will happen. In expression editor I have the "\" but after confirming, it will delete and it will just join the text together.
