This mapping is used for a destination attribute that may contain a multi lined value (as opposed to multi valued).

An example of an AD multi lined attribute is ‘Info’ (Be aware, this attribute is labeled ‘Notes’ in ADUC)

In a custom object map file, modify your mapping to begin with the characters “r|”.

The leading “r|” means replace each “|” with a “CR/LF”.

So put the | where you want each return to appear.
The mapping may also include hard coded values.

Example

Attrib1 is RED Attrib2 is BLUE Attrib 3 is YELLOW

r|info=^Attrib1^|^Attrib2^|Hard Coded|^Attrib3^

Info will be set to the following multi lined value:

RED BLUE Hard Coded YELLOW
