Help us solve the problem in DocGen. Everything was working fine until last month. I have developed a script that generates a csv document for batch document generation. In one of the text lines I used text formatting with the character “\n”. It used to work, but now in the generated document this character is displayed as \n instead of a newline. What do I have to do to make it work again?

Hello
Thank you for reaching out, and welcome to the Docusign Community! I appreciate you bringing your question to this Community. Rest assured that I will do my best to help you.
I received an update from our internal team regarding the issue with line breaks. They shared that we previously had some issues in processing the newline character (\n). To work around this, users adopted the method of using double slashes (\\n) for formatting. However, this has now been resolved, and we correctly handle the standard newline character (\n) as intended.
