Publisher V2 Datamerger no longer detects line breaks

[Snorelaxing]

I made a workflow to generate brochures and handouts with the comapny's address using data merger in Publisher V1 and it was able to detect line breaks so when I generated it would do the bullet points and line breaks for me just as I put it in the excel file.

but now moving over to V2, it no longer detects line breaks from my excel file. Instead it opts in for word wrapping. I tried using CSV, TSV, JSON and nothing worked.

Is there any way to fix this? I really don't want to roll back everything I've done so far back to V1 if I can help it.

The one with the black marker is the data merge field from Publisher V1 and the only is from V2.

Thank you so much your time and reading this!

Hi @Snorelaxing,

Thanks for reporting this.

I've been able to replicate it and will get it logged with the Dev team

Hello all,
for me, the line break does not work via XLSX either. I have already tried everything. Also CSV, tab-delimited etc.
In version 1 it worked very well.

Hoping this will get fixed soon! Currently using a workaround where I replace line breaks with some other special character in my source data, and then do a find & replace to turn them back into line breaks after merging.
