Option to allow linebreaks in the default title field

[kevinmu17]

Description

I like what you guys did with the new title field and how it is presenting itself now for the user! But i'm tumbling over the fact that there is no linebreak option here, so in, my situation, most cases i need to create another title field just to support this feature, so my projects contain 2 title fields which i'm not a big fan of. so, is it possible to give us the option to activate this?

Please add this feature

I assume this is not an easy fix? i regularly need this feature

Can you give me an example of an entry title that would need a line break?

We definitely do this all the time. And still do. It's super common and normal.

Basically title is in every single block and section - title is the default. Often title is one line plain text. But frequently we want to use title more visually on the front end. especially since title is in everything no matter what.

For example - in a design element. I want this ALWAYS on three lines. EXACTLY like this:
FOR YOUR
CONSIDERATON

or this:

OF MANUALLY FORCING
LINE BREAKS IN
TITLE
WHERE AUTOMATIC
WORD WRAP
WOULD NEVER
BE ABLE
TO MATCH
MANUALLY ENTERED LINE BREAKS
BECAUSE CSS WORD WRAP
CAN'T HANDLE
USER DEFINED LINE BREAKS

Because title doesnt support line breaks, I've come to use title just for meta title on pages that have meta title. Then in areas that need line breaks, I hide it and make a new field called label which is basically the same as title except it allows line breaks.

Indeed like this ;)

Hi I always get requests from the client to have this ability, mainly when the width of the text area won’t work universally. So say we are using a title that sits nicely over a design, and you also have multiple languages, having ability to force the line break so design stays consistent in all languages. I have often had them put in ‘\n’ which isn’t great. Cheers Mark Mark Dodson Creative Director mobile: + 44 7702573283 email: ***@***.*** web: www.spotd.uk

@brandonkelly any news on this one?

[brandonkelly]

We’ve discussed it internally and the general consensus is that we should make it possible.
