Making parameter visible on report

[jvh75021]

I have a subSequence that returns an ASCII string parameter called Msg. Last Friday I checked a box somewhere that caused it to be displayed on the report, but I have slept since then and therefore have forgotten where that check box is located. It would be OK for it to be displayed except it comes out as one line with backslash characters in it such as '\r'instead of multiple lines. I found that if I copied it to Step.Result.ReportText it displays correctly. So 2 questions:

1) Where is the checkbox that causes a parameter to display on a report?

2) Can parameters that get displayed on a report have CRLF characters in them?

Thanks,

I found the checkbox under Additional Results. 

Still wonder why the Parameter prints backslash chars.

Hello jvh,

This has been reported as a bug in TestStand. We have noticed that there is different behavior depending on if you use it in the report text or additional results. There is also different behavior if the slash code you use is \n instead of \r. Using \n will work in the parameters but \r does not. While the opposite is true for the ReportText. Let me know if you have any other questions about this and have a great day!

Best Regards,
