 EDS Service ObjectTypes.json with special characters in the stepname

Hi there,

We are using EDS with workflow to populate some step parameters with values.

In the ObjectTypes.json, we pass the following values:

{"symbolicName":"workflowName.mapName.StepName with Space and Special Ão"}

And doesn't get "hit" by the service!

When we remove the spaces and special characters it does, and applies all the configurations...

{"symbolicName":"workflowName.mapName.StepNamewithSpaceandSpecialAo"}

Is there any way for this to work, since we need to show the StepName in the StepProcessor window with the real name:

Regards,

Bruno Ferreira

Not sure if this helps but asymbolic name in the context of EDS must confirm to: The value must start with a letter and contain only alphanumeric values and underscores (_)
Have you tried using a technical value (or a display value)? For a technical value there are less restrictions and you can most likely use them and achieve the same result using a variable with a technical value.
