Steve,

We do the same thing and we experienced the same issue. I got around it
by inserting "||" instead of a carriage return in the template. Then I
have a filter on submit of the record to the ticket that replaces the
"||" with an actual carriage return.

Subject: email template and carriage returns

 

** 

I just upgraded from ARS 4.03 to ARS 6.3. I've been using asp forms to
send the email templates to my remedy email address to my HPD:HelpDesk
form with no problems, pretty simple. I'm learned from trial and error
that the new engine has the email instructions form and email template
form to help process the new template schema. 

 

The problem I'm currently having is Carriage returns. When my email
templates gets sent I append fields together to form the Description
field formatted in an orderly matter. When I want a new line in my asp
forms I just use the vbCrLf _ to create a hard return and the
continuation line. For some reason when it gets parsed into the Email
engine it doesn't know what to do. 

 

I read in prior posts that it will not take words like "Name:" in the
fields because it'll translate it to a keyword. But I have not read any
limitations to carriage returns or how to include it so the engine will
like it. Does anyone have any experience with this? 

 

I just noticed that my Description field is unlimited (0 input length).
Could that be some sort of reason? It's only affecting the Description
field.

 

Thanks

Steve
