Replacing new lines with HTML break
Short story, I have a dashboard with project statuses that is updated with a web form. The managers can update their project by clicking a hyperlink to open the form. Simple enough. The downside is since Survey123 puts "\n" for new lines if they hit enter, which does not show up on a dashboard. To get around this they manually type in "<br>" to create a new line. I'm looking for a way to automatically switch these out due to complaints.
A quick Javascript snippet does the job for the most part (this also creates bullet points).
function replacetext(p) {
var newtext = p.replace(/ooo/g,'•').replace(/\n/g,'<br>');
return newtext;}
However to avoid dependency cycle errors they would have to enter their status in a null placeholder field and the real field gets get the Javascript return value. This doesn't work when they are trying to edit preexisting data (which will always be the case). Is there a ways to pre-load the null editor fields, or even just a simpler way to do this that I'm missing? Thanks
