Line Feeds in Test Names?
| ♥ 0 |
We noticed that it is possible while using the Excel Add-In to Export Tests to QC, that we can create tests that have Line Feeds in their names. In some places in QC, the tool-tip ("mouse hover" text) shows as multiple lines, in other places not. We realize this was a sort of "artifact" from the multi-line text from the Excel Cell where it got the test Name, but is this OK to do? Did we find a "bug" since QC allowed this to import this way?

As you probably already know, ther are many ''special characters'' that QC does not like in names of entities - the usual offenders (The characters /:''?'|*% are not allowed). to be safe, I try to stay away from all of them (~'!@#$%^&*()+=|}]{[''':;?/*<>;.,). It does not explicitly mention CR or CR-LF embedded in names (in User Guides or HP Knowledgebase), but this is BAD PRACTICE (according to many years of QC consulting) to include them in Names of ANYTHING in QC.
