The container element needs to be inserted in the work item description as a<br>
table instead of a single-line element. Use the assistant (toolbar button<br>
"Expression") to insert it, and you'll be asked if you want to insert
only the<br>
first line - as you have done, all lines as continous text or all lines with<br>
line breaks. You will then see that the expression to use when you want to<br>
insert all lines from multiline container element TABLE is either
&TABLE[]& or<br>
&TABLE##&.<br>

&LANGUAGE&.*Selecting command line option.i.e.<br>
* /:*<br>

the syntax check I am getting the following error.<br>
<br>
<br>
*Variable &_????????.??????????.????& exists in description text
Completion text, but<br>
