Is it possible to display array fields with carriage return ?

i have a field which looks like this in json :

"ca\_FieldsChanges":[  
"string1",  
"String2",  
"String3"  
]

Is it possible to Display these Values in a vertical manner ? Kibana currently shows them in one line separated by a comma.

There's no easy way to do it currently, but there is a layer that this would fit well. I'd suggest opening an enhancement request [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new) for a string field formatter that joins arrays with newlines.
