Additional Information
This is a known limitation in ArcGIS Enterprise and ArcGIS Online when using ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 3.x and Map Viewer Classic. Refer to this documentation, https://developers.arcgis.com/arcade/function-reference/constants/#textformattingnewline where it states, 'Multi-line labels are NOT supported in the ArcGIS API 3.x for JavaScript nor in the ArcGIS Online map viewer'.Workaround
- Remove this function so the label is on one line only.
- Keep new line function and change the label styles placement to center along since above and below placement do not work.
