How can I add line breaks in Doors NG string attributes?
Hello!
I am using Doors Next 5.0.2.
When I use string attributes I can't see and can't enter line breaks in the module view.
In the right side bar, I can add and see line breaks in edit mode.
But even when I added a line break via sidebar, it is not shown in the module view. And when I enter the edit mode inside the module (with pencil) the line break is shown.
I am doing something wrong or is it a topic for enhancements or even a bug?
(Where to put DNG enhancements?)
But I am not looking for rich text support in attributes, like this enhancement:

Thanks for help!

Hello Christian,
I found the following defect that says "String is defined as a single line of plain text. No rich formatting, no new lines."
Defect 66919: String Attributes - Pressing enter within a string attribute in the module grid does not create a new line
So it looks like entering new lines for string attributes would be an enhancement. I suggest filing a request for enhancement in the IBM RFE Community if you'd like to see the feature. You can select Requirements Composer for the product.
I hope this helps.
