Entering a new line in frontmatter property values on Android

Help

What I’m trying to do

In the frontmatter of some notes, I use properties with multi-line values. On desktop, I can pres Shift+Enter to create a newline in the property value. On Android, tapping the carriage return virtual key finishes editing the note instead of creating a new line.

Is this a known limitation, or a bug?

Is there a way to insert a new line in property values using the Obsidian Android app?

Obsidian’s YAML accepts what’s called “block scalars” for multiline YAML.

So on mobile, you could type multiline properties in source mode like this:

---
example: |-
  lorem
  ipsum
  dolor
---

Or replace the indicator |- (“literal”) with > (“folded”)—either works.
