I'm trying to update a string table value with a URL and there are ampersands in it. I've googled and tried lots of escape characters (eg '&', '^', putting string in quotes)but each time the value is saved it sees the '&' as the beginning of a new bit and so cuts it, and everything after it, out.


I am updating the value in Workspace. My OS is Windows XP. Any advice would be welcome. Thank you.

I found that if you create the environment variable via Visual Studio, it actually works.  Seems like it's just a big with the K2 workspace interface.

This was a bug in Workspace only. I used the Process Portal instead and that functioned as it should.

I'm glad I found this. Almost 4 years have passed and this bug is still not fixed.
