Punctuation

Post by Modern Collision »

In the Recommendations area on the Customer screen, and when typing a customer name, the system will not accept apostrophes. So customer names appear to be misspelled and grammar is improper since possessive-related apostrophes cannot be entered. Am I doing something wrong?

No, you are not.

This was brought up once before. This is an illegal character due to programming in 5.9. Must be the same in the newer version.

This is true due its use in programming; instead use the ` character (lower case on the ~ key)
