*Note that one can workaround this issue by explicitly setting the "Custom URL" for the page; however, I encountered problems doing this from the UI and ultimately had to edit the DB directly to accomplish.

Batch update of issues that won't be addressed due to change in functionality from version 9.0. If you feel these issues are still relevant, please feel free to re-open.

I have not tried that setting, I was using the default settings so it appears that advanced mode supports quotes unless you use that setting - this information will be useful for whatever engineer eventually works this ticket

...so that setting made the difference? You got it to fail with 7.2.1?

cathal connollyDecember 23, 2013 at 9:02 PM

No problem - in future when you raise an issue like this can you please note any relevant configuration changes you have made, otherwise we are unlikely to be able to recreate the issue. I'll mark this as triaged, so product can review (FYI I doubt this will make 7.2.1 as there's plenty of work assigned to that already and we have the holidays coming up, it's likely to be 7.2.2 at least before this is reviewed)

That is part of the problem. the URL ends up containing the quotes ("). I'm using the switch (AUM_ReplaceSpaceWith = None) so any url encoded characters are removed as opposed to replaced with a dash , which appears to be the default. It acts as if that switch causes another code block to execute that replaces spaces ( ) just fine but fails to replace other characters like a quote.
