      solution:

      import org.joget.workflow.model.service.*; 
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.lang.*;
WorkflowManager wm = (WorkflowManager) pluginManager.getBean("workflowManager");
String n = wm.getProcessVariable(workflowAssignment.getProcessId(), "vComments");
String vResult = n.replace("\r","<BR/>");
wm.activityVariable(workflowAssignment.getActivityId(), "vComments2", vResult);

      or

      String vResult = n.replace("\r"," ");

      for noneHTML content.

      No errors with multiple lines variable vComments

        When the hash variable parsed, you end up with coding with multiple lines. Example:-

        From

        n = "#variable.vComments#"

        To

        n = "hello
world";

        causing syntax error.

        Workflow variable should be used for routing, not keeping values imho.
