How can I create a newline in a Rally testCaseResult notes string using JSON with the API?

[Anon Anon]

When I put a valid \r\n into the notes string in JSON, it just shows up in the notes as an ASCII \r\n, instead of a carriage return/line feed pair.

Bill,

I think your issue is that the Notes field is a rich text/html field. As such, you'll want to use <br/> instead of \r\n.

Thanks,

That makes sense to me, too.  Let us know if that works better, Bill!

David is correct. Here is a curl command that creates a test case result with a new line in the Notes field:
 

curl --header "zsessionid:_abc123" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d"{\"TestCaseResult\":{\"Build\":\"1.0\",\"TestCase\":\"/testcase/1234\",\"Workspace\":\"/workspace/1111\",\"Verdict\":\"Pass\",\"Date\":\"2015-01-27\",\"Tester\":\"/user/777\",\"Notes\":\"line one <br /> line2\"}}" https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/v2.0/testcaseresult/create

Thanks David.  That worked just fine.
