Hello everyone,
I have to create a data merge document including a plain text qrcode.
My source is a CSV file from libreoffice.
The trouble comes when I try to insert a line feed or a carriage return.
Using excel formula CHAR(10) or CHAR(13) does not work, because the rendering return just the first line of the text.
Is there a way to fix the issue?
Thanks

Few months ago, on another thread, you've tested reading raw data - with a dedicated app? Or it was someone else?

It was the ZXing code/app (that's "Zebra Crossing," charmingly enough). There was a web site decoder, which went dark sometime in the past few weeks. There's an outdated Android app, which does not have the raw mode. And the code from around 2014 is on GitHub but not supported.
If there's a second "diagnostic" reader, I haven't found it. One that analyzes everything and reports raw data, error correction mode in use, Version (basically == grid density and code content limit)... would be nice. But no, we have 536 clones with fancy marketing, tracking and malware options.

Hello @BROTHERS36143006vvhf,
I appreciate you reaching out and apologize for the delayed response. I wanted to check in and see if the issue has been resolved on your side. If you are still facing the same data-source error, please let me know the version of InDesign you are using and whether your CSV file is saved locally or on a cloud or network drive. You might want to save a new copy of the CSV directly to your local drive, reconnect it in Data Merge, and test again. If it still doesn't work, create a new InDesign document and try linking the same CSV there to see if the behavior changes.
If the problem continues, please share a brief screen recording of your entire workflow, so I can take a closer look and help you resolve this issue.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Abhishek
