I'd like to add a line break to a field set to STRING. In fact it's my company name, we're trying to avoid using DBA (Doing Business As) by using a line break to split the company name. Is this possible in a string field?

Try using this. It's like using <br> in HTML, but with curly brackets instead:

{br}

Unfortunately, that didn't work out. The company name just has a {br} tag in the name now 😀

FYI: i am in the Companies screen trying to alter our company name with a line break (if possible).

Did you figure this out? Assuming you are displaying the name in Report Designer, what about coming up with your own line break characters. Maybe something like ||

Then use a formula in Report Designer to replace your line break characters with {br}

This worked for me:

That's ingenious, in fact I won't even need a special character, I can just replace the first word with itself and a line break or do a targeted insertion in the string. I never thought to inject the line break into the string like that. Thank you!
