Scrivener Dialogue CON'T Function

[babbabooey1999]

I’m using Scrivener’s screenplay mode and noticing that the “CHARACTER (CONT’D)” tag isn’t automatically appearing when a character’s dialogue breaks and then resume after, say, some action description. This is specific to dialogue and not across page breaks.

Is there a specific setting I need to activate for this, or is this simply not an automatic function in Scrivener? This is a pretty standard industry convention, so I’m hoping I’m just missing something.

Usually you’ll want that on hitting return it’ll stick to the current element, but there are other possible triggers (tab+context) :
