MS Forms to "Generate document from Word template" Invalid Parameter with "long answer"

Question

I am trying to populate a Word document template from a Microsoft Forms response I am doing this using the "Generate document from MSFT Forms data and Word template, send via E-mail" flow in Power Automate which uses the "Adobe PDF Services" connector.

All the template fields get filled-in fine if the form field is a single text field line, but if any field is a textarea... called "Long answer" in Forms, this results in an "Invalid Parameter" error.

I cannot find any information on how to insert the relevant field in the json in such a way as it does not throw the error each time.

Has anyone else had this problem and can you suggest anything we could try?

TIA

We have tried the two ideas suggested here: by @Ben Vanderberg , i.e. remove quotes or add an initialize variable step. We still get the Invalid Parameter error.

If I test a form using the long answer fields but without line breaks in my response then the flow seems to work, it only breaks when a response contains linebreaks, e.g. a list or a number of paragraphs.
