How can I add line breaks to the Calculation Values field

    I am trying to build a form with a series of Yes/No questions that should result in a list of events (timeline). So as the user answers 'Yes' to a question, I want to populate multiple events into a list on the Thank You page. This task would be easier if it was one-to-one: "If question 1 equals yes, then show one event". But, I need it to work one-to-many: "If question 1 equals Yes, then show three events".

    In the "Calculation Value" field I could put 'Event 1, Event 2, Event 3' for 'Yes', but on the thank you page it keeps it all on one line. I want them in a list so each event should be on its own line. I tried 'Event 1<br>Event 2<br>Event 3' but that didnt work. Any help here? Is there another way to do this kind of logic?

    You can not use a space characters as "Calculation Value". 

    Instead of adding calculation values, you can use Update/Calculate conditional logic to update your other field if Yes option is selected. You should  also use Text field instead of Form Calculation widget for reception-events field. 

    You can set your conditions like this.
