Sorry I reply to my self...

tmsh modify sys global-settings { gui-security-banner enabled gui-security-banner-text '"Warning line1
and now line 2
and now line 3
and final line"' }

Works just fine 😄

    Hi Sylvain, Thank you for providing this. I'm able to enter my multi-line security banner however it doesn't seem to save to the GUI when I break out of the command. How were you able to get this saved? I must be missing something simple here. Thanks in advance!

    For example:

    config  tmsh modify sys global-settings { gui-security-banner enabled gui-security-banner-text '"Warning line1
and now line 2
and now line 3
and final line"' } [ENTER]
> [CTRL+c]

    Copy entire block like this:

     

    tmsh modify sys global-settings { gui-security-banner enabled gui-security-banner-text 'Warning line1 and now line 2 and now line 3 and final line' }

     

    which appears in CLI like this:

     

    tmsh modify sys global-settings { gui-security-banner enabled gui-security-banner-text 'Warning line1

     

    and now line 2 and now line 3 and final line' }

     

    and GUI has this display:

     

    Warning line1 and now line 2 and now line 3 and final line
