Hi guys,
We have a multi-line text field that we type several things down in a row. For example:

1 - of this item
1 - of another item
2 - of this item

But when we print it out of EF, it will put it in a paragraph, like this:

1 - of this item 1 - of another item 2 - of this item. It ignores the returns. How do I fix this?

Unfortunately, you'll need to do one of two things. Either convert the field to a Rich Text field OR create a Formula Rich Text field that can take the original field and insert the proper HTML in place of the current line breaks. Most likely, you'll need to use the SearchAndReplace function and look for the "<br>" (I think) and replace it with "<br />" or "<p />".
