<BR/> tags in plaintext multiline fields

Sumit B
over 7 years ago

We are seeing <BR/> tags in multiline fields migrated to a PlainText multiline field in SharePoint. 

We do not have this issue if target field is a Rich Text. 

What is the best way to replace <BR/> with line breaks? Is there a way to replace part of or complete string, during mapping? 

Product Details: 

- Migrator for Notes to SharePoint (Version : 6.7.0.2296)

- Target environment - SharePoint Online

 

Thank you.

    Thanks for the updates. Based on my investigation of this issue, it appears that Migrator for Notes to SharePoint (MNSP) is detecting this source Notes field as RichText. You can override this detection by using the following steps:

    1.) Open MNSP Designer.
    2.) Click the Notes tab.
    3.) Edit the Source Data Definition.
    4.) Click Data Fields.
    5.) Highlight the field with the issue.
    6.) Change the ColumnType to Item.
    7.) Click the SharePoint tab.
    8.) Edit the Target Data Definition.
    9.) Click Data Fields.
    10.) Highlight the target field.
    11.) Set the Target Type to Text.
    12.) Set Multi Line to True.
    13.) Either delete the column from the SharePoint list, to allow MNSP to create it with these new settings, or manually change the Column type directly within SharePoint.
    14.) Try Migrating again with "Delete current SharePoint List items" selected on the SharePoint tab.


    Please let me know if you have any additional questions or need any additional clarification.
