Release Automation

  • 1.  Using special symbol in Release Automation

    Posted Jun 14, 2016 11:35 AM

    I usually use user input data as a parameter to execute command actions or flows.

    Some data source like URL may have special symbol like $ or &.

    RA seems treat these symbols as illegal and command action may success but return shows error.

     

    Error message is here.

    I tried to embrace & to "&", but still failed.

    Is is possible to avoid this restriction?

     

    Thanks
