Hi, Nathaniel

Firstly, I would like to sincerely apologize for the delayed response as we have been experiencing an unusually high number of tickets. I am sorry that it has taken longer than usual to respond to your concern and your patience is highly appreciated.

I am not sure i understood correctly.

I assume you mean, if you open a pop-up editor, or in-line editor, on a string field, it is not accepting going to new line, when hitting Enter?

If that's the case, you probably set the column as one line string; 

i will show you an example of a multi-line string compared to it:

If you predefined the column during table creation in wpDataTables as "one line string", it is possible that in the database the field got saved as VARCHAR, rather than TEXT ;

If that happened, then the plugin won't accept going to a new line, in regular Pop-Up editor, or in-line editor;

So, you can double-check both ends, make sure to set the column in the plugin to multi-line, and also in the database, it has to be "TEXT" ;

or you can simply delete the column in wpDataTables, and add a new one, setting as multi-line, and it should accept Enter for new line, as well as copying finished values with newlines.

Also, if you use a Manual table, you have the facility of switching to Excel-like editor, which allows quicker editing:

Let me know if that helped.Thank you

Hey, Nathaniel

Firstly i want to apologise for the delayed response time.

We celebrated our Orthodox Easter, which has slowed down our working pace.

Thank you very much for your patience.

You are correct; i was using a Manual table, that one lets us delete, or add columns;

for SQL Query tables, we don't have the option.

But it's great that you set it as TEXT type in the database; this means you only have one more step to do;

in the Editing tab, Editor input type, set it as "multi-line edit", and you should be good to go,

it should now allow you to hit Enter for new line, or simply copy multiple lines from other sources.

Let me know how it goes. Thank you
