SID-01139: embedded ampersand in meta field name

Status:	Unanswered	TWiki version:	4.3.0	Perl version:	5.3
Category:	CategoryEditing	Server OS:	Windows 2003 server	Last update:	13 years ago

I have a field name in my META file...

%META:FIELD(name="XY&ZVoting" value="whatever".....

I'm editing it with a Template Form...

the form won't read the value unless it's in Edit mode...

template form field=

XY&ZVoting | select | 1 | Select XY&Z Voting | ......

I've tried every way to get this escaped...

what works in Edit mode is

XY&ZVoting

but not in View mode.. Is this possible? It doesn't appear so...

I've tried multiple escape sequences, nothing works in View mode...

HELP!
