Dynamic post meta - is to possible to have multiline text?

Hi Gary,

By line breaks do you mean something like this?: https://share.getcloudapp.com/YEukdJJZ

If you’re setting as such, even if you retrieve through code through ACF get_field function, it will appear as such with no break lines: https://share.getcloudapp.com/Wnu7EX8Y

Can you try adding <br> as such to the text area: https://share.getcloudapp.com/llu04OWP

This should work with Headline Blocks: https://share.getcloudapp.com/z8umnB9y

Hope this helps! Kindly let us know how it goes.

Hi Fernando

This does work, but unfortunately this particular field will be completed by other users who are unlikely to add <br> tags and will probably add multiple lines of text to the ACF textarea field, so I was hoping for something automatic.

I've set the ACF textarea to add <br> tags for line breaks automatically hoping this would solve it but they must be getting striped somewhere. I was maybe hoping there might be a GP filter or some other workaround?

Thanks

Hi Fernando

I've found a solution for my needs so posting an update here in case it helps anyone else trying to do something similar.

I realised ACF has shortcodes for grabbing values from a field in the editor, so I used a shortcode block in the block element template with the ACF field shortcode and set the ACF field to return formatting and it works great.

Whilst this works fine for my purpose, it would it be nice if we could handle this natively though in GP/GB and be able to use GB block instead. Maybe Tom could provide some input on whether this is something the team has considered and whether it might be an option in future updates, I appreciate with the new GB betas dyanmic data is undergoing some changes.

Thanks

Hi there,

Do you want to raise a feature request on the GB Github?

Hi David

Thanks for the reply and yes I’ll look to add this as a feature request on GB github.

Thanks again

Thanks Gary! We appreciate the time taken to test and provide feedback!
