Post Allowed characters in product fields 
Hello,

I was just hoping to get confirmation on exactly which characters are disallowed in which product db fields:

This is what I have - is this correct?

Product ID
!,#,@,$,%,&,*,(,),{,},{,},|,\,/,=,+.-,?,<,>,~, commas, colons, semi-colons, periods, and spaces.

Category
!,#,@,$,%,&,*,(,),{,},{,},|,\,/,=,+,?,<,>,~, commas, colons, semi-colons, and periods.

Product Name
!,#,@,$,%,&,*,(,),{,},{,},|,\,/,=,+,?,<,>,~, colons, and semi-colons. (this seems weird because one of the example products with agora has a colon in the name?)

Description
newline characters (according to user guide... it can take all the other special characters?)

You are missing the double quote marks in the Product ID, Category or name...
Those you cannot use, either...

Description can use special characters...

Ok, thanks - any idea about the colon being ok in the name field or not? Also, are apostrophes are ok in the name?

I am not sure about the single quote mark.
Of course, you could just set up a test product with a few of the "in question' marks and see what happens. It has been my experience that when the invalid character is in there, the 1st submission of the product would be fine, but when you edit it, that is when the problems start...
