    Hi @SANG BUI1127 ,
    According to my research and testing, you can use the shortcut key Fn+Enter to wrap the line when entering a description. However, when you create/edit an item, the line wrapping effect cannot be displayed. Including spaces too.
    Therefore, it is recommended that you use some symbols and make the distance between the texts slightly larger to achieve the effect of separating sentences.
