Microsoft Forms to Azure DevOps - text being dropped

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi there,

 

I have an integration between Forms and Azure Devops where I'm collecting various pieces of information and then creating a work item.

 

I seem to be losing some text for one of my fields when the string contains a '<'. See below, I tested 2 fields......the signature field is defined in DevOps as a single text field, and the code placement field is defined as a multiple text line field. 

 

When I receive a string in each field that contains a '<', in the code placement field everything from the '<' onwards is dropped. The signature field though is fine.

 

I'm assuming that because the multiline text field in DevOps is an html field, that it might be assuming the string is an html tag.

 

I know I could strip out the '<' characters, but any idea on how to address this without doing that? I'd like to try and leave it a possibility for the user to enter actual HTML tags that flow through to the DevOps work item.

 

Thanks!

 

Example of the text being dropped in the 'event publisher code placement' field but not the 'event publisher signature' field:

    Can you please tell what type is the Event Publisher Code Placement? 

     

    Since the connector uses the API at the backend: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/organizations/settings/naming-restrictions?view=azure-devops

     

    it could be one of those restrictions removing those characters.

    This is how the fields are defined in Azure DevOps:

    The funny thing is as I said, the same text string can be passed to the 'signature' field but not to the 'code placement' field.
