Issue/Introduction

We have a use case where a user can select more than one role (screen logical attribute) from the multi-select control. we are sending the role values to PX and then we are sending email.

Email received on this format:

"EM-CORE-DATAENTRY",­­CORE-VIEWER",­­"EM-PPORTAL-FINANCE-ADMIN",­­"EM-PPORTAL-FINANCE-DATAENTRY",

However, when we copy past the value in notepad++ we are seeing few Unicode char are adding in between the values.

"CORE-DATAENTRY",¬¬"EM-PPORTAL-CORE-VIEWER",¬¬"EM-PPORTAL-FINANCE-ADMIN",¬¬"EM-PSAPPORTAL-FINANCE-DATAENTRY",
 
We are sending the above attribute (role) in rest API call because of these Unicode char the api call is failing .

For further questions please setup a webex meeting.
