Issue
Input fields in /api/jsonws page for functions do not support multiline/newline-inclusive parameters

Steps to reproduce

1. Start a clean bundle
2. Login as admin
3. Add the Calendar widget into the home page
4. Click on My Calendars > ▼ > Manage Calendars
5. Click on Options icon and HOVER on Import
   From the linked URL, note the xxx_calendarId value (30824)
6. Go to http://localhost:8080/api/jsonws
7. Select Calendar as Context name
8. Click on Import-Calendar method
9. Fill in the calendarId retrieved on step 5
10. Set type as "ics"
11. Open the attached ics file in your favorite editor
12. Convert all linebreaks to \n so it's a 1 line string
13. Copy that string into the Data field and Invoke

 

Actual results
Field is rendered as Input tag and execution fails

The following error is displayed

"Error at line 1:Expected [VCALENDAR], read [VCALENDAR\\nMETHOD]"

Expected results
Field is rendered as Textarea tag and execution succeeds

Example of expected:

1. Open the browser's development tools
2. Change the <input to <textarea to convert the Data field to a textarea
3. Paste the contents of the ics file (as is, with linebreaks)
4. Invoke
5. Execution is successful
