Can you add comments to the XML reports other than one Block Comment and one Test Comment?

I know how to use Block Comments and Test Comments but if I need to add more comments to my XML report in a test other than one Test comment, is there a way to do this?  In other words, I would like to be able to add say 5 comment lines for a single test.  Also, can a Test Comment or Block comment be more than one line in length?  If so, how do you do that?

What version of TS do you have?  If you have 4.1 or better (might be possible in 4.0 I can't remember) you can just use the additional results.  So in the step properties you will see Additional Results.  Then just add as many as you want. 

Then you will see it show up in the report like you want.  I couldn't get multiple lines to work in one comment.  I tried \n but that didn't seem to be supported here.

Hope this helps,

Figured out how to add a new line in your comment.  Just put <br> in your text.  So in the value to log type: "Hello <br> World <br> !"  and you will get 3 lines.

I should have mentioned that we are using TestStand 3.1 and CVI 7.1.  Thanks.

Hi helfrich,

Have you looked into either of these options?
