set external data value

[pwong]

I am using the following function but if "item1" has an "&" char, it won't work. Any suggestion?

fd.field('ExternalData')
.value({key: '__bg40003300', text: 'Item 1'});

Hello,

You should replace & with the appropriate html entity (&). Example:

fd.field('ExternalData').value({key: '__bg40001300', text: 'Item 1 &'});

Thanks! That works!
