Run this and you will see Scn2 keeps over writing and never inserts the nrw line. I tried \n that also had the same issue.

Is this related to your other issue? If so, I find it really confusing to see a new topic that depends on previous information that’s been shared. It would be better to add to the existing topic. If not… well then nevermind!

Finally I realized my mistake and filed the bug report in the GitHub. That is what you told me the first time. Very sorry for this multiple reports. I have three reports on the same issue. If possible please delete the 2 of them. Apologies. Now I have learnt the whole process will be more diligent next time.

> 2. Run this and you will see Scn2 keeps over writing and never inserts the new line. Whereas Scn1 writes and inserts "newline".  
> 3. I tried \\n that also had the same issue. 
> 4. I tried with Text box with multiple line enabled that also had no affect. 
> \### Expected Behavior
> I expected even in Scn2 the number to increment and come orderly one below other as I was inserting "newline"
> \### Actual Behavior
> The number in Scn2 does get incremented but "newline" gets ignored so the old number gets over written

Hello @anandavardhana57zwwl  
I can confirm that I am experiencing the problem you describe.

If you need a quick fix, you can use a variable and save the new text there every time the screen opens.

I created [this project](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/669934e088bfc113e29d38fb200aac17) with this solution.

Let me know if it worked for you.
