Symptoms

K2 smartforms Expression Builder using the character """ breaks the replace operator
 

Diagnoses

Hey Support

My initial thinking was to inject some regex into a literal control to be able to return a substring from a string.

Example, I have the following value " Michelle]" and I would like it to extract the substring "Michelle."

If I use the following expression: Replace ( Variable], ' ', 'empty string') then the expression never fires.

I have had three people replicate it. The open square bracket does not work and breaks the expression.
