All you have to do is go to Tools | System Preferences and make appropriate changes to the InvDescr and InvName preference if you want to allow double quotes or commas.

That’s it! Let me know if you have more problems.

Daniel,

typical, I enter the post and then I find the solution, I’ve looking for it for hours. I was trying to insert the quoted field into the default description field, which doesn’t allow quotes or comma’s. Adding a new string property solved the problem.
Clearly my incompetence…

Daniel,

I think I found another bug, or maybe it’s my incompetence…
Have you ever tried to import a description field, with quotes and comma’s in it, with the MDM repository on an Oracle database?

I have been trying every single thing I can think of but I keep getting the same error, eg:

Error: Node Description ‘C” Open Academy(Y0333)’ contains invalid character ”” Action: Update Global Properties Hier: Node: Y0333 Property: Descr Before: After: C’ Open Academy(Y0333)

Error: Node Description ‘Chair, Animal Ethics Committee(N0518)’ contains invalid character ‘,’ Action: Update Global Properties Hier: Node: N0518 Property: Descr Before: After: Chair, Animal Ethics Committee(N0518)

In the first example, there are two quotes within the string, that is done automatically, it’s not like this in my source file, obviously the import is adding the escape quote. I have also tried to put the escape quote in the source file, but still the same error.

Anyway, if you have done it before, I would very much appreciate if you could tell me how…

thanks,

Stijn.
