Text area and carriage returns

    Hi

    I have set a text area input field and I have placed a default text inside of it.
    Such text looks like this:

    TITLE

    terms of contract

    second row of text and other points…

    but when I check the form in public webpages all the carriage returns in text have been removed like this:

    TITLE terms of contract second row of text and other points…

    all goes in one line.

    The same happens with user input in text areas. This behaviour happens as soon as I leave the form in administration area. If I re-open the form to edit it, text into text area fields has no carriare return anymore.

    Is it possible to fix this and leave carriage returns in their place?

    I have found a possible workaround by using html field + CSS to display it like a not editable text area, but such field is not saved in the form data once submitted.

    Hi @fabizu

    Hope this message finds you well.

    I was able to reproduce what you explained, but, due to security, this might be the expected behavior, still, I am confirming this with our devs team since they work on very complex issues getting a reply from them could take longer than usual, we will back to this topic once we get an update from them.

    Best regards,

    Thanks for checking and replying,

    that sounds good: to get users messages in form it would be better to be able to read with original line formatting.

    We got feedback from our Forminator team.

    They confirmed this might be a bug and we escalated to further investigation.

    While we are actively working towards a resolution, we cannot provide a specific timeline for when it will be fixed. We recommend checking the changelog for updates.
