Author Topic: [SOLVED] Problem with views with calculated fields and special characters  (Read 1775 times)

Today I noticed (build 22.0.48) that something, which always went well so far, is broken:

I have some views which contain calculated fields.
To keep it simple, just as an example, say that I create a calculated field ArtistCalculated which is calculated to be identical to the usual Artist field.
When I create a view which uses the Artist field and I click any artist, all the results are filtered as they should.
But when I create a view which uses the ArtistCalculated field (with the exact same content) and I click an artist with a special character (such as ö or é) in its name, no results are shown, although I know there are many.

So calculated fields become quite useless when they don't work with special characters.

Anybody has a solution? Or is it something which will be fixed in a next version?

I went back to MC22 vs 22.0.32 and now everything works again as it before: no problems with calculated fields and special characters. That is a relief for now as it is essential in my setup.

Hope this will get fixed in future versions, so that I can upgrade again.

Could you send me a library backup that shows the issue to matt at jriver dot com?

Send the backup and instructions about what view to look at and what inside the view.

Thanks!

Solved! In 22.0.49 it works again as it should.
