Hi K2nneth,
The ampersand (“&”) character is a reserved character by XML, and will cause problems if it is not escaped correctly. You can add the Advanced Search and Replace plug-in in your workflow to search for the “&” and replace it with “&” and then it should process correctly.

@Justin The web browser automodifiy the &amp; by &. you have to use the </> icon to prevent this :wink:
