Impossible to paste verbatim a multi lines code in packer console?

Packer
1

Hi,

It would be nice to just copy and paste a multi lines code from a template code to the packer console. For instance, imagine I have this code in a template (a multi lines code, it’s just a basic example):

regex(
  "(?P<release>[.0-9]+)",
  var.name
)

Maybe I have missed something but, to me, it’s impossible to just paste this code in packer console. Before, I have to change this code to have just one line. In this case, it’s a quick task to do that but in other (and more complex) cases, it’s a little bit tedious.

Have I missed something or the copy and paste is just impossible currently?
Thanks for your help.

My version of Packer: v1.12.0
My OS: Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS
