How to display data entered via textarea in a report, with formatting preserved ?

Alex Hoefling-OracleJul 5 2016 — edited Jul 27 2016

Hello everyone

I have a form with a field type "Textarea". When users enter text in this field the new line formatting is being preserved. I can save the form and when I edit it again, the new line formatting is displayed still correct.

On another page I have a report (tested with static report and interactive report) which displays the same field. As type I have selected "Plain Text". Unfortunately the field is not displaying the new lines, but all the text in one line.

Q: How can I display the text field in a report with the new line formatting preserved ?

Thanks. -alex
