+5Since the JSS 9.98 upgrade, all script results are displayed on a single line in the JSS policy logs. Where line breaks should be, the HTML tag for line break is seen. To view results proper, I have to paste them into Text Wrangler, then save and open as HTML.
Below is an example. A simple test with
ls /Folder

+5Well, guess we need Jamf Pro 10!
My workaround for now is a service I created in automator to render the results as html..
¯_(ツ)_/¯
+17I'm a bit late to the game here since we just upgraded to 9.100, and this issue is very annoying. I can't find any info on it being fixed, where can I get the status on this?
+12@alexjdale Stlil not fixed as of 9.100... Use to work in 9.97.
It's a bit of work, but I go into the machine record >> History >> policies >> Show. Line breaks will work here...
+17Thanks, I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. We skipped 9.98 and 9.99 so this was new to me.
+36A green initiative had me cursing this issue last week when I had to create a script that would look for installed printers that offered Duplex, but where Duplex was off by default. I was somewhat pleased with the script. It output what I expected:
<PrinterName> <None>
<PrinterName> <DuplexNoTumble>
<Printername> <DuplexTumble>My upside up smiley turned into an upside down smiley once I uploaded it to Jamf Pro 9.101.4 and found the EA that read the output of my script spit out...you guessed it...a single line, which was a PITA to work with.
<PrinterName> <None> <PrinterName> <DuplexNoTumble> <Printername> <DuplexTumble>I really hope to see this issue resolved one day. I mean, heck, we can get a Tesla into space. Why can't we get line breaks in an EA output?

+9It's still an issue as of 10.15.1.
Here's the FR for it: https://www.jamf.com/jamf-nation/feature-requests/6993/correctly-display-line-breaks-in-policy-logs
+8@luke.reagor We are seeing this PI resolved under Jamf Pro 10.15.1. Output from script execution via policy includes line breaks, as expected.
