Make Enumlist appear on individual lines in the PDF template

Hi community,

Is it possible 2 present individual enumlist items on separate rows in the PDF template rather than showing a, separated list?

I know how to do it using a child table but I’m trying to avoid having to create additional tables for this purpose.

Please try

CONCATENATE("* ",SUBSTITUTE([Enumlist], “,”, "

  • "))

The approach is based on the excellent solution by @Steve in the post below. I slightly modified it to add asterisks to the list.

Hello @Suvrutt_Gurjar ,

How can we achieve- keeping each list item in different rows of a table in the PDF Template?

Could you share where in the template the enumlist is placed?

This is where I’m using the List,

It sounds that your expression is something like

CONCATENATE("* ",

SUBSTITUTE([HSN Code], “,”, "

  • "))

Also the opening << and ending >> seem to be missing in your template. Just wondering how it worked without those << and >>

So you seem to have applied line break after the asterisk. It appears so in result as well because the asterisk is seen in the separate line

Could you try as follows instead

<<CONCATENATE("* ",SUBSTITUTE([HSN Code], “,”, "

  • "))>>

Edit: Oops , sorry. It sounds that this approach is not working in templates. Let me revert if I get it working. Other colleagues may have their solutions in the meantime.

Edit2: Please have the expression in a VC of long text type. Please include that virtual column in the template.
