You meant multiline is new feature (>= QGIS 3.4 I think) because placement
tab is an old tab (QGIS 2.0
<https://docs.qgis.org/2.0/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_vector/vector_properties.html#labels-menu>).
If you have suggestions, do not hesitate.

Could help indeed. Mind opening an issue report or provide a pull request?
Thanks
