Ampersands and Text Variables
Good Morning All,
I've got a text variable that stores a value which includes an ampersand. (i.e. P&C)
If I place a condition on a trigger that is based on that value, the trigger doesn't does...
Just in the last few days, I have copied and pasted text containing an ampersand into a text box and the application froze – requiring Ctrl Alt Del>Task manager> End Task.
Anything with XML behind it has always been twitchy about ampersands...
I have had similar issues with x̄ (x bar) used in statistics. Storyline freezes every time.
Hello Malcolm!
Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you're experiencing. This does sound like a unique issue, and I don't get the same result when I copied and pasted text containing an ampersand into a Storyline 360 text box from Word.
- Are you working locally rather than from a network drive when this happens?
- Have you tried running a quick, simple repair of Storyline to see if that helps?
