Adding an event with a description containing newlines doesn't seem to be possible

This is on macOS Sequoia 15.5 (24F74)

I want to create an event where the event description contains newlines. I've tried all manner of quoting and it does not seem possible to have a description containing newlines.

--description="foo\nbar" results in an event with a description of literally foo\nbar

Is there a way to include newlines in the description?

Hmm does it not work to just type Enter?

$ gcalcli … --description="foo
bar"
