To address the issue with line breaks not displaying correctly in the event type descriptions, it's likely related to how the descriptionAsSafeHTML property processes line breaks. This property should convert line breaks (\n) into <br> tags for them to render correctly in HTML. Here's a code snippet to help with this conversion:

function convertLineBreaksToHTML(inputText: string): string {
  return inputText.replace(/\n/g, '<br>');
}

You can use this function to ensure line breaks in your event type descriptions are correctly converted before setting the descriptionAsSafeHTML property. This approach will help maintain the intended formatting in the browser.

Additionally, reviewing similar past issues might offer further insights or solutions:

1. Add line breaks, styling, and/or markdown to event description
2. [CAL-672] turn description into a multi-line field
