    How can I pass the correct formatting of a long text entry field in a text field using the form fields drop down?

    I'm not sure I understood your question correctly.

    Can you please explain further how you want your long text entry to work?

    Do you want to pass a  value  from the dropdown field?

    Looking forward for your reply.

    Sorry for that.

    So when we pass a long text entry field data to a text field on the same form using the drop down "Form Fields" from the text field, the multi line data is displayed on only one line and does not keep formatting.

    To clarify,do you want to keep the formatting of your long text entry field when populating your Text field?

    Example:

    Unfortunately, there is no option to keep the formatting when you populate the Long Text entry to the text field.

    Hope this information helps.
