Linebreaks in Longtext field.

[kkomarla]

We at TRW receive quite a few data from our customers in xml format. 

I would prefer to push this information from customer into one of item type, namely Open Point. To achieve this i have a script in place to push data into a Longtext field
which supports rich content.

The script works fine, but my issue is how I insert line-breakers (/n or something like that) in Integrity into the longtext field; so that the data is readable and formatted properly, than having them all in one line!

Hi Karthik,

We faced a similar data-formatting issue in our solution. We resolved the problem by placing HTML content in the form of a table into a longtext field; and within that HTML we referenced a .CSS file to handle the formatting. 

It you're familiar with scripting in Integrity and HTML/CSS, this approach is prettry straight-forward. The cavaets are the folllowing:

- The field has to be a longtext field with Rich Content enabled.

- The field has to be set to "Never Editable" - this only works for read-only fields. As far as we've found, anyway.

- The value for the field can be set by a trigger/script only.

- You'll have to find/make your own .CSS file in the public_html folder.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

-Sean
