Is there a way to PATCH/POST strings containing ampersands? If I try to update a customer name to A & B it sets it to A and misses out everything from the ampersand onwards. Thanks.

My experience shows it is still not possible. https://partners.hansaworld.com/forum/viewmessage/2/2993 scroll to the end.

Thanks, hopefully it will be fixed very soon, given that it was a priority bug in July.

Hi,
I've just checked again and currently this bug is still in the programmer's queue.

Is there any update on this please? We have people using the API to create customers, and if their name or address contains an "unusual" character e.g. an & or an accented letter, it does not get created correctly inside SERP.
