Displaying multiline data in StringCell

How can I display a multiline string in a StringCell? Say I have the content “Line1\nLine2” displayed in a StringCell column. Though I see a “Multi-line string” renderer available for this column type, selecting the same doesn’t display this in multiline.

Hi @ravikiran

The problem is that the “\n” is escaped, that’s why it is even displayed. You can fix it by using a String Manipulation node with the following expression:

replace($columnName$, "\\n", "\n")

Then the “Multi-line String” renderer should work as expected.
