3616786 - Hard line breaks are not copied via commenting API in SAP Analytics Cloud

• Table_1.getDataSource().getComments().addComment/Comments(); 
• Hard line breaks are not copied when adding comments via scripts, but copied as soft line breaks.
  • Hard line break: Press [Enter] key.
  • Soft line break: Press [Shift+Enter] key.
• When manually copying a comment that has a hard line break applied in comment editor, the hard line break is maintained.

SAP Analytics Cloud

1. Apply addComment() scripts in Button.onClick.
2. Check the comment to be copied: "we [hard line break] are".
3. Click on Button to run addComment() scripts, where copied the same text to the comment thread.
4. Double click on comment cell, and notice the copied text displays as "we [soft line break] are", instead of "we [hard line break] are".

The hard line break is actually rich text with mark language like "<p>we</p>\n<p>are</p>".

Commenting API currently do not support Rich Text as input, only plain text is supported.

This is the designed behavior for commenting API.
