Hi  
In the Action “String Add Breaks”, “Insertion Options” , it would be nice to have the option of “Instead a String”.  
This will enable me to enter a string like: “a;b;c”, and create from it A string with Carriage Return and Line feed. This could be used in a “prompt for variables (enhanced)” action with a type of “Sorted List”.   
Thanks Daphna Levin

Hi Daphna,  
  
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll add it to the todo list. In the mean time you could use the String Replace action to replace ‘;’ with ‘\r\n’.
