Update Name: Interim Fix 438294

Fix ID: sym-7.1-build438294-welfg

Publication date: January 23, 2017

Support for “+” and “/” characters for the task tag character set.

The character set range for task tags currently supports lowercase letters (a-z), uppercase letters (A-Z), digits (0-9), and special characters “–“ and “_”. This interim fix adds two more special characters “+” and “/” to the supported character set, as summarized in the following table:

Attribute name	Previous character set	Character set with this interim fix
TASK_TAG	a-z A-Z 0-9 - _	a-z A-Z 0-9 - _ + /

The task tag attribute does not support characters outside the specified range. If you use a character that is not supported, the system reports an error.
