How can I add a new line before each paragraph in the Text property of the Header in a getHeaderImpl method with system object?
I tried (\n) , but it did not work.

Did you try using the newline function, or adding char(10) ?
A = "this" + newline + "that"
A =
"this that"
B = ['this' char(10) 'that']
B =
'this that'

Yes. It did not work. There is no text displayed when I tried that.
Thanks for the suggestion, it works without adding the + sign. For example: 'Text', ['My first paragraph'
newline 'My second paragraph']; ==> this works, but if i add + after newline, it modify the text and does not provide a newline.

Use newline without comma or + sign at the start of each new paragraph.

Try to use the newline function:
function header = getHeaderImpl(obj)
header = [newline, 'First paragraph', newline, newline, 'Second paragraph', newline, newline, 'Third paragraph'];
end
or
Try to use the sprintf function:
function header = getHeaderImpl(obj)
header = sprintf('\n%s\n\n%s\n\n%s', 'First paragraph', 'Second paragraph', 'Third paragraph');
end
