How to get line breaks in table cells?

Hello,

in old dashboard versions I was able to  create multi line strings in table cells. However, in Dashboard Studio it doesn't work. Is there a workaround?

example for dashboard studio:

{
    "dataSources": {
        "ds_search_1": {
            "type""ds.search",
            "options": {
                "query""| makeresults | eval value=\"line1\r\nline2\r\nline3\" \r\n| table value",
                "queryParameters": {
                    "earliest""-24h@h",
                    "latest""now"
                }
            }
        }
    },
    "visualizations": {
        "viz_table_1": {
            "type""splunk.table",
            "options": {
                "count"100,
                "dataOverlayMode""none",
                "drilldown""none",
                "percentagesRow"false,
                "rowNumbers"false,
                "totalsRow"false,
                "wrap"true
            },
            "dataSources": {
                "primary""ds_search_1"
            }
        }
    },
    "inputs": {
        "input_global_trp": {
            "type""input.timerange",
            "options": {
                "token""global_time",
                "defaultValue""-24h@h,now"
            },
            "title""Global Time Range"
        }
    },
    "layout": {
        "type""grid",
        "options": {},
        "structure": [
            {
                "item""viz_table_1",
                "type""block",
                "position": {
                    "x"0,
                    "y"0,
                    "w"1200,
                    "h"250
                }
            }
        ],
        "globalInputs": [
            "input_global_trp"
        ]
    },
    "title""dashboardstudio",
    "defaults": {
        "dataSources": {
            "ds.search": {
                "options": {
                    "queryParameters": {
                        "latest""$global_time.latest$",
                        "earliest""$global_time.earliest$"
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
 
 
examle for xml dashboard:

 

 

<dashboard version="1.1">
  <label>delete_me_8</label>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <table>
        <search>
          <query>| makeresults | eval value="line1
line2
line3" 
| table value</query>
          <earliest>-24h@h</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
          <sampleRatio>1</sampleRatio>
        </search>
        <option name="count">100</option>
        <option name="dataOverlayMode">none</option>
        <option name="drilldown">none</option>
        <option name="percentagesRow">false</option>
        <option name="rowNumbers">false</option>
        <option name="totalsRow">false</option>
        <option name="wrap">true</option>
      </table>
    </panel>
  </row>
</dashboard>

I found out, in classic Splunk white-space: pre-wrap was used, which allowed line breaks in cells of table, but in Splunk Dashboard Studio white-space: normal is used, which doesn't allow line breaks.

Also, custom CSS is not supported in Dashboard Studio as it is stated here: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/8.1.2103/DashStudio/IntroFrame?_gl=1*4jf9w5*_ga*OT... 

If it weren't for the link graph I would instantly go back to classic Splunk ...
