How to add newlines in Json payload for submitting a webRequest in automation

[Adolfo Casari]

I have created a variable

comment = *{{issue.comments.last.author.displayName}} commented*: {{issue.comments.last.body}}

then I create a comment using a webrequest action , the custom data for the request is:

{ "issues":["{{webhookResponse.body.object.title}}"], "data": {"comment":"{{comment.jsonEncode}}"} }

The comment is created OK, but I need to add couple of newlines between:

*{{issue.comments.last.author.displayName}} commented*:  and

{{issue.comments.last.body}}

I've tried adding in between both:

\n\n (prints \n\n in the comment)

\\n\\n (prints \\n + newline + n)

Thanks for your suggestions,

In case someone runs into the same issue, use: \\ (for a single newline)

Hi @Adolfo Casari I use "\r\n" in my Data Center environments to get a newline in a comment inserted via JSON. 

That was - so far - the only thing that worked for me.
