02/10/2021, 1:34 PMUsing a form.addField "RICHTEXT" and when I try and add a line break to the rich text content I get the following:
Welcome to the B2B ordering portal for Amplify Snack Brands. Here you can: <BR>• Submit an online order totaling 10 pallets or more. • View prior Orders. • Print an Invoice. The following is required when placing an order: • 10 pallets = order minimum • 14 days =lead time.
How do I remove the HTML characters but force the line break?

02/10/2021, 2:17 PM@tuli the problem is the output on the suitelet front end. Not the richtext field itself. My String is what you have in the text field there but when output it adds the actual html <br> character instead of creating the break

02/10/2021, 2:24 PMDo you have a richtext field there on suitelet and setting the value to the same ?

02/10/2021, 2:25 PMThat pic is in the UI for the suitelet. This is what is then being output on the frontend Suitelet:

02/10/2021, 2:39 PMI'm not sure your usecase, but if you're going to pick it up idk say post request and then reprocess it in the suitelet, and you want to remove the br, you probably want to do some .replace on this string and then replace it with "\n" or equivalent, and then this text value you get from the field will still "inherit" the line break

02/10/2021, 2:41 PMand btw it's actually common practice, and it happens in say, some email merge scenarios in NS, and when you get the templates and you want to manipulate the strings, we always have to do the same stuff, like replacing the escape characters, and replacing the new line characters
that's something you do have to do sometimes
