Google Docs Api does not work correctly for Table Cell data with multiple lines #2978

Open keithdsouza opened 5 years ago

keithdsouza commented 5 years ago

In Google Docs API version v1-rev20191010-1.30.3, there is an issue with accessing data from tables. The issue happens when the cells have new lines in them. For example

A B

The API currently only returns a single paragraph element in the cell with text A and ignores the second line in the cell. However, the data is still available in the raw json for the document.

The above causes problem because I need to style each line in the cell, but because of this issue it's only applying styles to the first line when I iterate the elements.

As a workaround, I am using the raw JSON to get the indexes for the texts and then applying the styles, but this should be made available through the API too.

Hey @keithdsouza thanks for the report. Could you please be more specific about what apis you are using within Google Docs and show a small example of what you got vs what you expected to see?
