Line Break in calculated field, ~ish

I am new to this, and building my first site in Wix, not sure of the terminology here. I am setting up a dynamic page for store locations. In the description box on the google map I would like it to look like this:

The one above was done with a rich text field as an example. I would really like it if I could calculate that format, or something close.

Code I am using now:

$w.onReady(function() {
    $w("#dynamicDataset").onReady( () => {
 let currentItem = $w("#dynamicDataset").getCurrentItem();
        $w("#googleMaps1").location = {
 "latitude": currentItem.latitude,
 "longitude": currentItem.longitude,
 "description": currentItem.name + currentItem.address + currentItem.phone 
 
        };
    });

});

But my results are looking like the picture below, I guess all I really need is a line break but \n doesn’t seem to work. Any ideas?

I don’t think it will let you do a line break on it if you just call it straight from a dataset field, it will just import it as the one full line unfortunately.

As you’ve mentioned that you can do it as rich text instead so that you get it all justified the way you would like it to be.

However, you can also do it from a dataset via a html as shown in David’s reply on this previous forum post.

Or you can go for a longer workaround and look into this option from Healthcare Professionals in this previous forum post here too.

It would be nice if I could just manipulate the existing text field, to add the line break. But since I can’t, I did figure out that if each column is a rich text field, rather than text, it will separate them into their own text blocks, which seems to be working.
