Unable to add multi line descriptions. #19

Closed mascon closed 11 years ago

mascon commented 11 years ago

When adding descriptions to folders I can not add multi line descriptions.

Calling the following boxClient.UpdateFolderDescription(folder.ID, "This is my description%0AThis is my secondline")

In API V1 I was able to pass the following on the URL

description=This is line one%0AThis is line two%0AThis is line three.

Now if I pass the %0A it just gets added into the description when using the SDK

How should I now add multi-line descriptions?

I don't know -- I've never tried. Perhaps you can create a multi-line description at Box's site, fetch it via the SDK, and see how it's encoded in JSON?

Well the result is a \n

however adding that in the string when using the SDK just puts it in the single line again?

Trying with POSTMAN directly returns the correct results.

Any chance you can look at this to see if it is a quick fix?

When I set the description to "new\ndescription" it appears to work as expected. I verified that it creates a multi-line description at Box's site.
