Text field / text area

Classic Servoy
1

Hi guys
We have a problem about text field / text area.
I create a form variable (text type) and put it as dataprovider for 2 field, the first TEXT_FIELD, the other TEXT_AREA.
By a button I write in this form variable a text like this:
‘FIRST ROW\nSECOND ROW\nTHIRD ROW’.
If both TEXT_FIELD and TEXT_AREA are not editable the behavior is what we expect (img1); but if I flag both ‘editable’ property and then modify something in text in TEXT_FIELD it happens a strange thing: after the save is launch disappear ‘\n’ and in both field the string appears in a single row (img2).
Anyone has noted this possible bug?

Thank in advance

Luca

P.S.: if necessary I can send a ‘.servoy’ file which contains my test solution.

This is not a bug IMHO, when you edit a text-field and save it, it will strip all \n automaticly!

ah ok, but why it do this automaticly?!?

Any news?

Various field types save data differently, not just text and text area. So assigning the same data provider to multiple field types for editing is not recommended.

Yes, sure, it was only an experiment :-)
