| Title: | Can't replicate 'line' fields with hashes in them to Perforce |
| Status: | closed |
| Priority: | essential |
| Assigned user: | Gareth Rees |
| Organization: | Ravenbrook |
| Description: | If you have a field with a # in it in the defect tracker, and if that field is replicated to a 'line' field in Perforce, the contents don't get replicated correctly to Perforce because the # is interpreted as the start of a comment. |
| Analysis: | See the original customer report [1] and my response [2]. The solution is to not use 'line' fields in Perforce for anything that might contain free-form text. |
| How found: | customer |
