I’m encountering an issue with how text is displayed in an Insight visual on Quicksight. The text appears with literal \n\n characters instead of rendering as actual line breaks. Here’s an example of what I’m seeing:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet\n\n• Consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.\n\n• Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.\n\n• Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.\n\n• Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.\n\n...
Interestingly, in a Table visual, the text is displayed as expected with the correct line breaks. The column containing this text is stored in Redshift.
I was expecting the \n\n to create empty lines between the bullet points, but it seems to be treated as plain text instead. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can get Quicksight to interpret \n\n as actual new lines or empty lines in the text?
Sorry, currently this is not possible but I’m marking this for feature request. At AWS, their roadmap is primarily driven by customers. Your feedback helps them build a better service. I have tagged this as a feature request. More features are being added on a regular basis, so please keep an eye on the What’s New / Blog . You can set up a Watching Alert by clicking on the bell icon.
You could look to opening up a case with AWS and see if they can provide a solution.
Here are the steps to open a support case . If your company has someone who manages your AWS account, you might not have direct access to AWS Support and will need to raise an internal ticket to your IT team or whomever manages your AWS account. They should be able to open an AWS Support case on your behalf. Hope this helps!
Hi @sergiu_rotaru,
It’s been awhile since we last heard from you. While this has been marked for a feature request, just wanted to double check if you had any additional questions regarding your initial topic?
If we do not hear back within the next 3 business days, I’ll go ahead and close out this case.
Hi @sergiu_rotaru,
