Hello,
It's definitely challenging when data doesn't come through as expected. If you're encountering issues with French special characters in your form imports, it might be worth reviewing the import process steps to ensure everything is configured correctly.
I’ve run similar imports using web reports and content script without encountering this issue. It's possible that a minor adjustment is needed in your current setup. If you can provide additional details on your procedure, I might be able to offer more specific advice.
can you provide the WR snippet you are using ?
just this in the row section [LL_REPTAG_1 SETFORM:CMP /] [LL_REPTAG_2 SETFORM:English /] [LL_REPTAG_3 SETFORM:French /]
I did a quick test, just using the character you provided in a string and it sets the form field successfully with the correct character, which is then readable from the form data.
There are a lot of variables here in terms of system version, and configuration, DB etc. and the error could be coming from the data source, related to the SETFORM using the forms interface to insert the data, the DB used to store the data, and however you are viewing the data to determine that it doesn't work.
From my test, I think that the SETFORM is working properly if it is getting the correct character data.
