Unable to figure out how i can add a new line inside string variable

[johnjohn123]

I have created a string variable as follow:-

then i am appending its text using the built-in "Append to string variable" action >> this action will be performed inside "foreach" for this action will get performed 1++ times:-

finally i will updated the item with the final variable string, as follow:-

now this is working but the only issue i am facing is that the variable will show the entries without new lines. as follow:-

so is there a way to fix this?

Hi @johnjohn123

A possible workaround would be to initialize a variable for a carriage return and append that in your apply to each.

1. Add a initialize variable action, call it CRLF and press enter in the value so you have two lines

2. Add the CRLF variable to your append to string action

@Expiscornovushave you tried it at your end..? because adding this extra variable will not have any effect!

Hi @johnjohn123,

Yes, I tested it first before I posted this possible solution 🙂

What kind of SharePoint column are you using, multiple lines of text?

@Expiscornovus  i am using Rich Text field + i changed it to Enhanced rich text field,,,but still same issue..

@johnjohn123 can you share the output (a couple of screenshots) of your flow test before you changed the field to use enhanced rich text?

Btw, I just tested it on my target list with an enhanced rich text field. The solution I proposed doesn't work with an enhanced rich text field. Look at the example below.
