[rt-users] solved - REST: Special characters in custom fields

[FOSTER Ryan * SDC]

I had to change the code to allow the pound sign.
 
rt/lib/RT/Interface/REST.pm   line 69 (in RT 3.8.1):
-    my $CF_char = '[\sa-z0-9_ :()/-]';
+    my $CF_char = '[\sa-z0-9_ #:()/-]';

Have you made it work with bin/rt and looked at the generated data
using RTDEBUG=3 bin/rt ?
