Hi Malte,

If you say

\setvariables
        [titlepage]
        [set=\texsetup{titlepage},
        project={Pearson},
        title={\startframedtext[width=\textwidth,frame=off] This document title 
is very long, \crlf so I'd like to  break it into two lines \stopframedtext},
        author={Tony Mueller},
        version={Version 1.0.0}]

the title is broken where you put \crlf.
Is that what you want?

Best regards: OK
