line break character in JSON

[uqbar]

We are trying to use add_folder_member with a custom_message that includes line breaks.

We tried passing them as \n , \r, \n\r , \u0010. They get all stripped out

What is the right syntax to use?

Thanks for the post! I don't believe we officially support any formatting like this for the message, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

Thanks for the quick reply Greg. Does it mean that for now there is no way to pass line breaks in the JSON body? That would be quite limiting considering that when you type a custom message manually there is no such restriction.
Any workaround you can think of? Like a way of updating the default message for a folder so that we don't have to pass a custom message anymore?

No, unfortunately I don't have a solution to offer for this.

ok thank for your help Greg. we'll adopt "write unformatted one-liners" as a temporary solution, hoping the support for line breaks will make into the features in the future
