    Ich muss unbedingt Absätze machen in der einzelnen Produktbeschreibung, damit das keine lange Wurst ist, wie kann ich das durchführen?

    Hi Johannes,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. For the description of each item, you can add a description in the Product Settings. Then, you can change the Product Layout. Here's how:

    • Click on the Product List, then click the 3 vertical lines
    • Click on the Settings button
    • Click on the layout to test

    Nein, das ist überhaupt nicht das, wonach ich suche. Ich möchte nach dem genannten Alkohol in % eine neue Zeile beginnen und da soll der Text weiter gehen.

    Also ein "Enter", so wie ich es hier gerade gemacht habe..

    Hi Hochwimmer,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Unfortunately, our German Support agents are busy helping other Jotform users at the moment. I'll try to help you in English using Google Translate, but you can reply in whichever language you feel comfortable using. Or, if you'd rather have support in German, let us know and we can have them do that. But, keep in mind that you'd have to wait until they're available again.

    Now, let me help you with your question. I understand that you would like to add line breaks to the product description box. Unfortunately, it is not possible to add line breaks in the product description box. Adding a line break requires HTML code to be injected into the field. However, it is not allowed to inject HTML codes into the form due to security-related reasons.

    Let us know if there's anything else we can help you with.

    Es muss doch eine Möglichkeit geben, um die Beschreibung übersichtlicher zu gestalten. Es ist doch nicht vermarktbar, dass alles in 1 Zeile geschrieben wird, ohne Zeilenumbrüche.

    Kann ich die Position des Feldes "Menge" bearbeiten?

    Ich möchte den Aufbau des einzelnen Weines, so wie im angefügten Shreenshot - Bitte um Hilfestellung!Product List: Add line breaks in product  description  Image 1 Screenshot 20

    Hi,

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to add line breaks in the product description box. Adding a line break requires HTML code to be injected into the field but it is not allowed to inject HTML codes into the form due to security-related reasons. We've gone ahead and escalated your request to our developers, but when or if it's developed depends on their workload, how viable it is, and how many other users also request it. If there are any updates, we’ll circle back to this thread and let you know.

    Thanks for your patience and understanding, we appreciate it.

    Hi Hochwimmer,

    We’d like to announce an update to the Product List element: Product List Description Customization! You can now easily style your product descriptions to make your items stand out and give your customers exactly the details they need.

    With our new text formatting tools, you can customize your descriptions using bold, italic, underline, and strike-through text. You can even insert clickable links to direct users to external websites. Plus, product descriptions now fully support line breaks, so you can space out your text and organize it exactly the way you want.

    It only takes a minute to set up. Here's how to get started:

    1. In Form Builder, select your Product List field and click on the Cart icon to open its settings. 
    2. Hover your mouse over a product and click on the Pencil icon to edit it. 
    3. Click on the Description box and use the new toolbar to format your text, add links, or press Enter to have line breaks. 
    4. Click on Save, and you are done.

    Give the new Product List Description Customization feature a try, and, as always, feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need any help.
