Does anyone know how to add a new line in a popup box from workflow? In html it is
or n in javascript.

Hi,

it’s not possible at the moment. I will create enhancement for it.

Thanks,

NetSuite has a bug (not an enhancement) that double escapes already escaped character sequences. You can see this by inspecting the JS that is generated from the Action:

I typed the following into the ShowMessage Action Text field:

This is a popup dialog box n RAR!

The generated script looks like this:

alert(‘This is a popup dialog box \n RAR!’);

As you can see the double escape is the problem. SO… if you must have multiline alert popup I would create a custom Script Action, it would be dead simple and you can control the string that is passed to the alert function.

Well, escaping of the whole text is desired functionality. No one should be writing it’s own escape sequences to the text. The enhancement lies in translation of new line character into HTML new line tag which is not supported at the moment.
