Hi all! 

Maybe someone can help me with this question: 

I added a formula field to a structure view, in this case "a list of values with separator".
Is there any way to configure the view to show the full content in the field with automatic line break or set a line break after a defined separator? 

Many thanks and Best Regards,

Ralf

Unfortunately, this is not currently possible.

However, I am happy to add your name to the list of customers who would like to be notified if that changes.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Set the column type to be "wiki markup".

Jira's wiki line break is "\\\\" (four backslash). Add this to any text output and the next text after will be on a new line.

The view must have "text wrapping" turned on.

Ex:

`"here is a line\\\\this is a new line"`
`CONCAT("variables on different lines: ",variable1,"\\\\",variable2,"\\\\",variable3)`

Hello @Ralf Andreeff @Sanjeev.Vasistha @Philip Page 

The line break is supported if the text wrapping feature is enabled. However, when it comes to the Formula column - you might need to edit the used formula in a certain way for the line break to appear.

I hope this helps. If you need assistance with the formulas or if you have any other questions about Structure, please reach out to us directly at our support portal.

This would be a great feature. I have to settle for putting some spaces in between values. a Carriage Return / Line Break would be great
