I have unchecked the option “allow multiple lines” on an editable text field in Domino Designer.
When editing this field in Notes, clicking on the “Enter” tab has no effect on this field and does not create a new line : it is the correct behaviour.
But on this same field, clicking on the “Control+Enter” tab creates a new line : it is an incorrect behaviour since the “allow multiple lines” option is unchecked.
Do you know this bug? Is there workaround?
Do you know if it is possible to prevent the user from creating a new line inside a text field?
Subject: “allow multiple lines” on an editable text field
Anyone from Lotus Notes have feedback on text field “allow multiple lines” checkbox, for version 8.0.1? I also have an odd thing happening. I had it checked by mistake and whenever a user on version 8.0.1 saves the document, my input validation on the field fails because it has carriage return characters in it. I have the field hidden in some cases so those users don’t even see it, but it still save carriage return characters. I UNchecked the “allow multiple lines” box and compacted the database, but still when users on 8.0.1 save the document it puts the carriage return characters in it. No problems for users on versions 7.0.2 and 7.0.3.
I’m not aware of this problem, but an option would be to programatically check the content of the field and remove any unwanted characters (such as newlines) when saving the form…
