Custom string fields with multiline values

[IvanRibakov]

Documentation mentions that single and multiline text inputs are supported, however I've tried a number of new-line separators for a custom field of type string and none worked:

• \n
• \\n
• \r\n
• <br/>

Note: I'm creating the issue directly from CLI using --custom flag:

$ jira issue create --debug \
    -t"Issue" \
    -s"Test" \
    --no-input \
    --custom user-story="Line 1 \r\n Line 2 \n \n Line 3 <br/> Line 4 \\n Line 5"

and I see the following in the UI:

The right CLI syntax is as follows:

$ jira issue create --debug \
    -t"Issue" \
    -s"Test" \
    --no-input \
    --custom user-story=$'Line 1 \r\n Line 2 \n \n Line 3 <br/> Line 4 \\n Line 5'

P.S. Following newline separators don't work:

• <br/>
• \\n

Make sure you use \n or \r\n.
