Hi all,

In our manual Ansible runs, we’re currently using a Vault key file with newlines in it and specifying it as “\<vault\_id\>@file\_path/file\_name”, this all works smoothly.

However, when adding credentials to the Vault secret type in AWX GUI, the newlines all get squashed, and I can’t find a way to upload a file instead.  
Anyone know a workaround for this?
