Hi,

I want to create an automation to update a long text field with rich text formatting enabled, with the following text:

This item will already be marked complete
This item will be not be marked complete
Another checklist item
Yet another item

When I copy/paste the text in my automation, line breaks disappear and I can’t add them:
