importing lead with line breaks in description field

[Slander]

Hi All,

I am trying to import some collected leads in CSV form and I need to have the description field keep its multiline formatting to be readable.

Checking the api i see when the field uses \n for line breaks but if i add this to the test CSV the \n just shows in the text.
If i then check that lead on the API the \n has become \\n.

Any help would be great I have only just started using EspoCRM and this is the first time I have not found anything about a problem so i am guessing I have missed something simple.

Hi Slander,

Instead of using \n, please try to insert actual line breaks (real newlines, Ctrl + Enter) in the CSV cell. Example:



Text file (.csv):

description,firstName,lastName
"Test
test
test",Test,Test
