mappView String Snippet - How to escape double quotes

Ask Questions
1

I want to define a String Snippet with a double quote, later also with a json string.
So I need to escape characters. How is this possible.

This is my example definition of a snippet, how to escape the double quotes arround “e”?
<Snippet id=“FilterConfiguration” xsi:type=“session” type=“String” formatItem=“T"e"st” />

Hi Johannes,

in mappview (XML) double quotes (") are normally escaped with this syntax: &quot;

formatItem="T&quot;e&quot;st" in your example :slight_smile:

Thank you. My plan has changed because there are no conditions in a snippet. So I will not test if this approach also works in automation studio.
