Assign multi-line text value to variable

How do you assign a multi-line value to a text variable in Storyline 360. Pasting in more than one line in the ‘text’ variable only stores the first line.

i want the slide to load, then the variable to be available with the multiline value, so that javascript that executes on the slide load is able to read and use that value without user interaction.

Also, can you read the value of the current slide ‘notes’ (transcript) using variables/javascript?

  • Adding my voice to Tim's last question, can you read the value of the current slide notes (transcript) into a variable using javascript? And if so, can you then use that javascript in the master slide template to load the notes from the slide into a variable and display that variable on a master slide layer to be called from the base slide layer?
