Issue/Introduction

Error Message :
N/A

Text attribute values and enumeration values of custom documentation in the Automated Web Interface (AWI) version 12.0.0 doesn't allow special characters.

Investigation

The only charaters allowed are:

• A-Z
• 0-9
• _ (underscore)
• . (period)
• - (hyphen)
• : (semicolon)

These should be the restrictions for the attribute names, but not for the values. In the Java UserInterface (UI) it was possible to use all characters for the values.
