Multi-line metadata has changed representation between 15.9.21 and 16.0.360. With this project:
Project file
<Project>
<ItemGroup>
<I Include="I">
<M>multiple
lines
in
this
metadatum</M>
</I>
</ItemGroup>
<UsingTask TaskName="InlineTask" TaskFactory="CodeTaskFactory" AssemblyFile="$(MSBuildToolsPath)\Microsoft.Build.Tasks.Core.dll" >
<ParameterGroup>
<Files ParameterType="Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITaskItem[]" Required="true" />
</ParameterGroup>
<Task>
<Using Namespace="System"/>
<Using Namespace="System.Linq"/>
<Using Namespace="System.IO"/>
<Using Namespace="System.Text"/>
<Code Type="Fragment" Language="cs">
<![CDATA[
var metadataString = this.Files[0].GetMetadata("M");
var count = metadataString.Split(new[] { Environment.NewLine }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries).Length;
this.Log.LogMessage(MessageImportance.High, string.Format("Count='{0}'", count));
]]>
</Code>
</Task>
</UsingTask>
<Target Name="Go">
<InlineTask Files="@(I)" />
</Target>
