samwoo Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Hello, When I need to provide certain information to the customer via the Self Service Portal, I often use the Multiline Text-box and set it to Read-Only and input the information I need to relay as the Default value. This is great except for two things... When having large amounts of information, the formatting of the Multiline textbox (as users have found) can be difficult to read. Could we have the possibility of adding formatting to this box? At least allowing line breaks via the PCM setup to show in the form as expected. When anyone jumps to a form with Read Only information, the field is automatically too large. We need this Multiline text box to fit to the text automatically. If i zoom in and out whilst on this screen, the Multiline text box shrinks to fit the text... which is not a workaround but to show that it seems to be capable of doing this. Thanks, Samuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miro Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Hi @samwoo, I think we found solution for your problem. Current implementation is displaying disabled multiline control when is set to read only mode (left side of progressive capture) - so you can see your text exactly like you typed it there. With new change it will be displayed the same way as it is on right side of progressive capture - but only if READ only attribute will be set. So the result will be like on screenshot attached below. Please note that this should also solve your problem described in post: You can use regular wiki formatting markup to format your text and create links if needed. Kind Regards, Miro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samwoo Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 I really like how it looks now, and the Wiki Markup is a plus! Is there a way to do line breaks in the Markup? I've got an image in the progressive capture that is smallish, but the first word of the text in the paragraph following the image is showing on the same line as the image itself. What's the workaround to ensure this paragraph is on it's own line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samwoo Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 I cannot include bullet points in the Multiline Read Only text box... is this something that will be possible soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevorKillick Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Hi Samuel In Wiki Markup you should be able to use * it must be on a new line without a space before it and with a space after it. Kind Regards Trevor Killick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind Regards Trevor Killick Thanks for the response I shall try that, though I cant seem to be able to add a new line as the input box for "Default Value" is a one liner. I remember there being a feature where you could CTRL click in that box to bring up the Multi-line editor but I dont think thats been implemented yet? Is there a Wiki-Markup code for line-breaks as there is nothing on the Wiki about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevorKillick Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Hi Samuel I will raise this with development, there is no wiki implementation for line break at the moment but the default text should be multiline.

Kind Regards Trevor Killick Hi Trevor, Appreciate this thanks. I've just checked and yes the "Default Value" is already Multi-line but it's not working with some of the Wiki formatting. [[LINK]] works, as does '''BOLD''' and ''italic'' but the others dont work (numbered lists, bullets, the headings also seem to play havok with the overall formatting as well as when you start a bit of text with an = you cannot close it with and = as it formats all the text after it) Cheers, Samuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Reena Mahatma Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Hi Trevor, This is not working for me as well. Please can you give an update on this? Regards, Reena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Dekel Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Hi @samwoo, @Reena Mahatma, This feature will be added to the next release of the Admin Tool. You will be able to add multiple lines and that way bullets and line wiki will be available. Thanks, Daniel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
