@smohyee

Please check your property setting within the Report Designer for this field.

In Design Mode, select the description field. Please make sure the Behavior of this field to have Multiline turn on (YES)

Please see my illustration

How do I make reports honor whitespace created in fields?

Specifically, when i use the "description" field of LineItem grids in the SO and other screens, the report does not keep newlines or linebreaks or whatever they are called.

So while my SO screen's description field will properly save and display

"Item Description line

Made in: USA

HTC Code: XXXX"

The report will display that field as

"Item Description line Made in: USA HTC Code: XXXX"
