Add line Break?

Basic question, can’t figure it out. How do I add a line break to the code?
Currently the below code is returning:
“placeholderName – 5★”

How can I get it to return
“placeholderName
– 5★”

rows[i]["placeholderRating"] = placeholderName + " -- " + rating + " ★"

Have you tried a \n or using a template literal?

\n does not work. Perhaps because I am setting a table value as opposed to just text? I have no idea what a template literal is. Easy to put together?

Are you trying to display this in the table? What type is the column?

5

Yes, this is just a snippet of the code. It’s actually part of a loop that populates a column in a table. I believe it is just string type

If you want a line break to show up you’ll probably need to make it a rich text column and use a
to create a line break.

Worked like a charm. Thanks Sam.

Solution:

cols9[1].type = "richText";

 rows[i]["placeholderRating"] = placeholderName + "<br>" + rating + " ★"

Could you show the full code? I’m facing the same issue and want to display line breaks in a table. However, using Text and Rich Text doesn’t work. Text doesn’t break lines, and Rich Text displays all the HTML code, which is not the desired outcome.
Thanks a lot
