Workflow Notification Step - multi-value attributes

On a workflow notification step, we're looking at custom template variables with multiple values, but the notification doesn't seem to support that. Any ideas.

Hello David, 

Unfotunately Notification steps do not support having custom template variables like a web service method step allows for. Instead you are relegated to using just the template tags that are available in the template tag drop down field.

This sounds like a good idea for an enhancement request though if you'd want to submit that.

Just to be clear, custom variables are supported, but if the variable has multiple values, the output just concatenates the values rather than doing a loop over the formatting. - David Tod Fri 2/2/24 5:08 PM

FYI - I've had a bit of luck with conditional email formatting and the white-space CSS property, but Outlook365 seems to ignore it.

<!--[if !mso]><!--><div style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><!--<![endif]-->
<!--[if mso]><div style="white-space: pre;"><![endif]-->{{Value}}</div>
