Prompt Type 'Memo' modifies the content

Hi Support Team,

I have a project variable of type TEXT and prompt type MEMO. Its purpose is to let the user add some comments or an additional text for an email notification. I enter the following text into the memo appearing after pressing the 'Queue a Build' button:

Some "quoted" text.

A 60" TV is huge.


I log the variable content in the first stage's action - no output. The variable is empty (as if I would have not entered anything).

If I replace the " by inch in the second line, the variable is set to

"Some "quoted" text.","","A 60 inch TV is huge."

With this variable content it is very heavy to restore the original content in oder to use it somewhere else, for example as build comment. Currently I use the "Log Entry" Action with "Add messages to a build comment" checked - the build comment is as follows:

Comments [Add Comment]
${Name} System User  - 1 minute ago  [Delete]  
"Some "quoted" text.","","A 60 inch TV is huge."


My expectation was to have the following build comment:

Comments [Add Comment]
${Name} System User  - 1 minute ago  [Delete]  
Some "quoted" text.

A 60 inch TV is huge.


This appearance of the variable content looks like Delphi's TStringList.CommaText... My expectation was to have the variable content as follows (which is provided by TStringList.Text):

Some "quoted" text.\r\n\r\nA 60 inch TV is huge.

This representation is more convenient for string manupulations using regular expressions (e.g. replace all \r\n with
for a HTML mail).

Would you mind to consider a change in the behavior of the memo field?

Best regards
Michael

Hi Michael,

Thanks again for reporting this issue. This is confirmed a bug where memo field is being treated like a checkbox list field. We’ll get this fixed for the next version which we hope to release in the first half of next week.
