Confiforms: how to handle special characters in JIRA summary

Pat L_

I have a form definition with a field called "jiraissue" that is a "JIRA Issue" type of field.

 

When I use [entry.jiraissue.title] to display the title or summary in a plainview, I got the following error. 

 

Error: com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxParsingException: Unexpected close tag

; expected . at [row,col {unknown-source}]: [2,294]

 

I found out that it is because the JIRA issue has special characters in it for example < and >.

 

If I remove these characters, it works fine. Is there anyway that I can avoid the errors without having to remove these characters from the returned titles from JIRA server?

 

Thanks,

Try using escapeXML function with it, so it does not break the storage format

 [entry.jiraissue.title.escapeXML]
