How to do newline in Validation Script Message

Level 4

Hi

im trying to write a multiline error message in the Validation Script Message for a textfield but everytime I hit return, i end up at the front of the current line instead of a new line.  I've also tried \n with no luck.  The only way i've found is by entering the text into notepad and then cut+paste into the Validation Script Message box.  Is this a bug with Designer?  I have Designer ES 8.2.1.3158.1.475346.

I am aware of how to do it by script  ex.  this.validationMessage = "line1\nline2" but what i want to is store the Section and field name in the Validation Script Message box and then build the error message ontop via script.

ex.

this.validationMessage = this.validationMessage + "Validation failed due to ....";

Just tested this and it looks like ctrl-enter works.
