Multi-line text Variables

Create a Multi-line text Variable

Under the Automate icon, click Variables, and add a variable with the "+" sign.

Choose "Multi-line text" as the type.

Multi-line text variables allow entering text with multiple lines or paragraphs, unlike single-line text variables which restrict content to a single line.

Set the Variable Name

Double-click the name, or choose "Rename" under the "..." menu.

Set General Properties

• You can switch between single-line and multi-line text variable types at any time.
• When switching types, the value of the variable will be cleared.
• Prefix and suffix settings are also available for multi-line text variables.

Input and Formatting Behavior

• The input field is a resizable text area.
• Enter creates a new paragraph (hard line break).
• Shift + Enter inserts a soft line break (new line, no new paragraph).
• Line breaks are only allowed in multi-line text variables, single-line text variables with line breaks are invalid.

Unicode

The following characters are supported for external input (e.g., copy/paste or data sources):
U+2028, \n, \r\n → soft line break
U+2029, \n\n, \r\n\r\n → hard line break

Usage

• They are compatible with:
  • Barcodes (e.g., QR codes, Vcard)
  • Metadata mapping via media connectors
