Hi,

Can you please provide us more details on what you want to achieve on the form?

You can pre-populate a text area using the method explained in the guide... but what do you mean by 'needs new line character...'

Will await your response.

Thanks.

I'd like the text within the textarea box to be separated by newline characters

I know that I can space the data like this ?fieldname=item1%20item2%20item3

but that would just put them all on the same line, I'd like the textarea to be prefilled and looking like this:

item1

item2

item3

(multiline textarea box)

Use %0A to add a line break to the value you want to prepopulate a field with.
