[Rt-devel] PATCH: Web.pm doesn't handle FreeformMultiple CF correctly

[Todd Chapman]

FreeformMultiple is created using HTML textarea, so only one
value is returned from the browser. RT 3.x currently treats
as a single value and stores all values in one CF with embedded
newlines. This patch fixes it so they are treated as
separate CF values.
