Valuelist with custom values which need to display the | chr
Posted: Fri Jan 10, 2014 11:41 am
Hi Servoy,
In several cases we need to have valuelists which have custom values, but the value contains the "|" character (the same one which is used to delimit the display from the real value). In our case we do not have separate display and real values.
Is there a way to "escape" the | character in the valuelists custom values so that it is actually displayed in the dropdown list and not treated as a delimiter between display and real value?
So far we tried several options like "||" and "\|" but these do not work. The available help documentation does not mention anything about how to escape this special character... OR perhaps this is a bug and we need to create a case for it?
