Special characters in the Alarm name

Ignition

Hi,

Wondering if there is any character other than “/” that can cause problem if being used in the start, end, or in between the text.

Thanks,

I don’t know about alarm name but I found a bug where you couldn’t rename the space doesn’t display on tag folders that start with a space in 8.0

I have found issues using "[", "]", and "."
This has caused a lot of heartburn as I have to come behind other engineers who named them for ControlLogix tags [e.g. "FAULT[1].3"] If you try system.tag.readBlocking for the alarm label, you will retrieve only None and the error shows there was a "property separator" found in your alarm name.
