Newlines in custom license fieldAnswered

I'm trying to set my custom license field of String type to a multiline string using ctrl+v. The text control does not seem to support this as it replaces newline characters with spaces, so my text loses formatting.

Is there a way to set a String field to desired string using "Edit product key" on wyday dashboard without losing newlines?

Use of Web API is not an option for me.

Nope, the license fields are to store basic strings used for simple verification and meta-data. This is by-design.

They're not for storing data-blobs.

If you need “separation” use a separate field for each “slice” of meta-data.

Thanks for clarification.

The field is not intended to store data blobs, but rather a list of homogenous portions of information that is meant to be linked to a product key. The number of items and their values are specific to each product key, we cannot replace the list with a fixed set of fields.

The list It is going to be initialized and maintained by hand. For maintenance of the list, it would be convenient to have each entry in a separate line, but the text control is not multiline and it converts newlines to spaces on pasting the text.

If there is no way to include a newline in the text, we will need to use some other separator and do text replace before and after editing the list.

It sounds like automating this with web API would solve a lot of your problems. But yes, you can still do this all by hand.
