Line Breaks in Schedules Fields

[poco2013]

I would like to have the ability to add/use line breaks in lines in any schedule field. The fields should recognize common line break formatting such as \n, or \r\n or key return. Also, the ability to list the associated labels which are attached any object.

Hi Gerry,

Thank you very much for creating this poll, and for those of you who voted to express their opinion.

I am happy to say we took notice of this wish and I have added it to our Wish List database (please refer to it as Wish #13003). Hopefully, our Product Management team will adopt this one in the future.

Thank you all once more, and I wish you a great day!

Best regards,
Minh

Hi Minh,
Thanks for adding this to the wish list... although it should have been there already as there have been multiple wishes for this for many, many years... since version 8.1 or 9 in fact 🙂 Maybe time to not only have it on the list, but move up the priority 🙂
Cheers,
Karl

Hi Karl,

I found some in the wish list, but nothing is quite similar to this one. I guess, because most schedule fields are auto-generated from the project, it would be tricky to implement line break.

Nevertheless, it would be great if we can place a schedule in the layout and resize it as a normal table in Word.

Best regards,
Minh

Bumping this so it can get some likes. Line breaks in schedule fields are simple feature that opens a lot of opportunities and something I’ve been wanting for years and years.

Yes please add the simple functionality of adding line breaks in schedules...

It seems to be impossible to put a multi-line text into one cell of a Schedule (at will, and not at the mercy of Archicad). I'd need multi-line texts more and more often, like a list tied to one element.

Thanks for the wish and feedback.

I've moved this to 'under consideration', as we need to tackle with a number consequences for the Schedule. Such as supporting multi-line Properties, or splitting merged values over multiple lines (when using list of values option), as I expect line breaks just for header text wouldn't be enough.

Happy for any examples you might have, that can help with future planning in this area.

🎉 thanks the the update James. Glad to hear this is getting some traction. A Christmas miracle! 🤣

cheers!

I think that this wish should be merged with one that is already "Under consideration" here since it says the same and is adding another parts as to ability to add end of the line for properties etc.

@Karel Landa,

Thanks for pointing that out, I have now merged the two wishes and their votes into this Wish topic.
