Issue
A grid of type "Field has dependants" contains a text column, a memo column, and a checkbox. The procedure is designed so that when the user selects a row, the values in the row populate fields on the form, e.g.
%Text1:=%User.Input\[0\]
%Memo1:=%User.Input\[1\]
%Check1:=%User.Input\[2\]
With either the browser or Windows client, if the user selects a row where the text column and/or memo column contains a tab, the following error message is presented:
Engine Exception - Failed to refresh form
The following messages are written to the Windows application event log:
ERROR: Failed to mutate Custom Value for Field 'check1'.
WARNING: Failed to evaluate the following - (%Text1:=%User.Input\[0\]);(%Memo1:=%User.Input\[1\]);(%Check1:=%User.Input\[2\]).
If the checkbox is not present, no error message is generated, but the value displayed in the field when the row is selected is truncated at the first tab.
