I am trying to save a JSON config file somewhere, somehow, there are no easy way to add a multiple row entry in a normal "Login" (feature request!)
So I am using a Secure Note. However that secure note will format the text when viewing.
{ "myPassword": "abc*def*ghi" }
will show with some bold text, but then I can't copy paste this unless I click Edit.
1Password Version: 8.4.1
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Windows 11
Community ManagerOh, and in case anyone is interested in how this works, here's our short guide to Markdown formatting in 1Password. It shows you the various character combinations you can choose to format text (example: to make a word bold, put two asterisks on either side of it).
Community ManagerHi @viqi , ah - I understand now! 😃
Since you are running 1Password for Windows 7, there is no formatting support for Secure Notes. So what you see is pretty much what you get, in this setup.
However, in 1Password 8, you can use Markdown formatting in secure notes, which allows you to bold words, italicize, highlight as code, and so on. In 1Password 8, this feature is on by default, but users can also choose to turn it off so that it doesn't accidentally misinterpret text that isn't supposed to be rendered as Markdown. I hope that makes sense!
Community ManagerHello @viqi, I'm sorry to hear this. Do you not have a "Format secure notes using Markdown" option when you go to ... > Settings > General in the desktop app? If so:
We'll be happy to help you with this! 👍
Community ManagerHi, @"Jean-Sébastien Goupil" , excellent! I'm happy to put in a feature request for multi-line text on login entries for you. We appreciate the suggestion too 😃

1P_PeterG Indeed, this fixes my problem. Thank you.
It would be beneficial to be able to add a multi-line text on login entries.
Community ManagerHi @"Jean-Sébastien Goupil" , thanks for raising this issue here.
There's an option in 1Password's Settings menu ( ... > Settings > General) where you can de-select "Format secure notes using Markdown."
Does that help, in this case? We'll look forward to hearing from you!
