How may I add a carriage return / line feed to a column description?

I can add a line feed to a character field in a database and it will appear correctly in a Yellowfin report by adding
to the string in the character field, and then setting the field to use the html formater.

I can add a line feed in the column description when editing the element in the View.

But I can't determine how to make a new line appear in the column description when updating the descriptions via an update statement to the reportfieldtemplate.longdescription field in the Yellowfin repository. I'd like to be able to do this to save lots of time, since I have documentation of the fields in a database and I could then just do an easy update statement instead of edit each field in a view manually one at a time.

So far, I've tried embedding in the description:


0x0D0A
U+000A
rn
but when the description is shown in Yellowfin by looking at the Details ; Column Definitions, it just shows the literal characters (
, etc..) and not a line feed.
