PROBLEMS WITH MULTI-LINE FEATURE LABEL USING EXPRESSIONS

[dwattersAMXH5]

I am trying to make a multi-line feature label using expressions. I have tried both of these expressions and yet the expression still will only show as one line.

Concat (  'FQNID#:  ', FQN_ID  , '\P' , 'LENGTH: ',  CALCULATED ) 

Concat (  'FQNID#:  ', FQN_ID  , '\P LENGTH: ',  CALCULATED ) 

where  FQN_ID and CALCULATED are being pulled in from my shapefile

i have also tried "\n" in place of "\P" and have no change in results. 

my feature label is set as MTEXT, set to repeat along a poly line. 

I wish to show 
FQNID#: 123456
LENGTH: 1234

but what I keep getting is 
FQNID#:123456 LENGTH:1234

Thanks for any help!

1.Use "Plain text" for multiline labels

2.Use '\n' for line break

3.Set  label position "Fixed location"

So I cant use this with repeat position?

It seems this depends what data type is the source.

Workaround: try to use text as symbol instead using feature labels.

Then you can also set repeat interval for text symbols.

For SQLITE this text symbol trick works but seems not for SHP.

ok, I'll look into that! 
Thanks so much! 

*EDIT*
This works for me with shapefiles and being able to set the interval is a huge bonus! 
again, thanks!!
