New Paragraph line feed function not being sent

Preserve line breaks in ChronoForms 7 textarea submissions.

Overview

CF7 does not automatically convert line breaks from textarea fields into new lines in the output like CF6 did.
Use the specific placeholder that processes line breaks to format the field content correctly in your email or data view.

I have two forms done which I have redone in Chronoforms 7. They require a paragraph narrative to be written by the user.

When the user puts in a return, line feed (new paragraph), this does NOT get transmitted.

Yet Chronoforms 6 automatically transmitted returns and line feed.

How can I get Chronoforms 7 to send?

Thank you in advance,
Donna

if you use {data.br:field_name} then line feeds will be new lines, this needs an extra function call (.br)
