Adding a Carriage Return to a default

Lisa Fields

I have a task set up to add new staff records, it default adds all sorts of fields including address block. I can't work out how to add a carriage return so that address line 1 is first and address line 2 is on the next line. Any expression ideas please?

Replying to my own thread hoping it may bump it to be seen…. ?

@Lisa Fields
Just to clarify, are you asking how to add that default from within the Expression syntax of a task? Would you mind sharing some of what you have to do those defaults today?

@Joseph Styons sorry, I don't quite understand the question?

I am adding the address field to the new individual constituent record. I have a task set up to ShowAddDataForm (Individual, Spouse, Business Add Form) and that has 10 defaults set. All defaults are fine except for the one that adds ADDRESS_ADDRESSBLOCK. I have it set to expression with text for my address lines but I want the text to show as 2 rows.

Hope my explanation helps ?

@Joseph Styons did you see my reply? Any help would be appreciated ?

@Lisa Fields Hi Lisa, I think you can do it with an expression like this

= String.Concat(Fields!ADDRESSLINE1, vbCrLf, Fields!ADDRESSLINE2)

Where you plug in your fields, and add in a vbCrLf to add a new line between them.

Thanks @Benjamin Seitz

I can't get that to work. It just adds this in the address:

Here is how I added it:
