Displaying Multiline Elements in e-mails

[Jim Gillett]

Edwin,
 
We researched this problem on a 45B workflow and did not find an OSS =
note to fix.  Using a multiline attribute of an object type in a =
SELFITEM task description expression does not work.  The code behind =
SELFITEM does not properly flag it as multiline when building the email =
text.    =20
 
A work around is to define a multiline container element for the task =
using SELFITEM - SENDTASKDESCRIPTION.  Use this for the expression in =
your task description with the ##.  You will also need to bind the =
object attribute to your container element. =20
 
Hope this solves your problem.=20

Hello fellow WFs,
 
Does anyone know of any OSS Notes that will allow all the line entries =
in
multiline elements to be displayed in e-mails.
 
Specifically:
 
When inserting variable in a message (using SELFITEM - =
SENDTASKDESCRIPTION)
using the SAP text editor:
 
All I am getting is the first line of the container element regardless =
of
which option I choose: whether I choose to have (&element##&)  the =
entries
listed separately on an individual line or listed (&element[]&) in =
series
one after another with a space in between them.
 
I have searched on OSS and cannot seem to find the any note specifically
solving this problem that I am experiencing.
 
We are currently running 45B.
 
Thanks in advance.
