How to insert newline into string variable in Automation

[Hugh Kelley]

I am creating a string variable as the first step in an automation rule.

The "Smart Value" is set to:

##FROM:{{issue.comments.last.author.emailAddress}}\n{{issue.comments.last.body}}

In a later step,  I use this variable with the {{var.asJsonString}} property.     The "\n" in the variable is not treated as a newline, it is escaped so that the resulting JSON string has a "\\n".

Is there any way to set the \n as a true newline in the variable-setting step?   Is there some sort of char() function I can use?

Just a wild guess but what happens if you put everything between quotes ?

"issue.comments.last.author.emailAddress}}\n{{issue.comments.last.body"

Thanks.  I didn't try that because .concat() seemed to do the trick.

##FROM:{{issue.comments.last.author.emailAddress.concat("\n")}}{{issue.comments.last.body}}
