carriage return handling in OpenVPN custom Options
0%
Description
For one of my OpenVPN server, I use the custom options field to push routes to my client. Eg, I add
push "route 10.29.0.0 255.255.0.0"
push "route 192.168.20.0 255.255.255.0"
push "route 192.168.23.0 255.255.255.0"
Problem is, after saving, everything is fine, but if I edit the OpenVPN Server again, carriage returns in this fields are gone, everything is on a single line
push "route 10.29.0.0 255.255.0.0"push "route 192.168.20.0 255.255.255.0"push "route 192.168.23.0 255.255.255.0"
And if I save again, OpenVPN will fail. Same after a reboot, OpenVPN will fail to start. I have to go in edit the custom options field to add the carriage return back, and save

Separate your custom options with a semicolon as the field instructions and documentation state.
Enter any additional options to add to the OpenVPN server configuration here, separated by semicolon.

Ok, my bad. But this is counter intuitive as the field itself is multi-line capable, and OpenVPN syntaxe doesn't need any ;
