Problems with Field Templates
When a field value contains single quotes, and the field template is used in Map > Layer > Feature Description, the field value shows appropriately. But if that same field template is used in Map > Layer > Feature Long Description, the value shows with escape characters "'" where the single quotes should be. Any idea how to get around this?

How do I report this as a possible bug without being charged by Technical Support? I'd like somebody else to test this and see if it really is a problem.

Usually someone from latitude tech support will pick up the issue on the fourms. They have helped me in the past troubleshooting bugs I found and we were not charged any support hours.

Since it's been over two weeks since I posted, maybe I'll provide more of an example. I have several field values in the BOTANICALNM field. An example value is Acer Platanoides 'Emerald Queen'. When I Identify the feature, it shows up that way in the Results window. However, when I bring up the Map Tip OR the Details dialog (you know, the dialog with Zoom To Feature, Pan To Feature, Create A Report, Copy Feature, and Add To Selected links), the value shows up this way: Acer Platanoides 'Emeral Queen'
Now, bear with me as I explain about the underlying ArcGIS Web Service, because these details might be the cause, though I still think Essentials should be able to handle this issue. The ArcGIS Web Service accesses an .msd that has a shapefile in it, and that shapefile is joined to a .dbf in ArcMap. In every respect, the map service works just like any other. However, when I use Field Templates from drop-down lists in Essentials REST Manager, they don't work. For instance, the ArcGIS Server alias for BOTANICALNM is Botanical Name. If I click Insert to put that field template in a layer property, the field always shows up empty in the Silverlight Viewer. But if I manually type {Botanical Name} in, then I get warnings in Manager, but the field values DO show up in the Silverlight Viewer. Maybe this other issue has something do with single-quotes being HTML decoded?

Roger,
There have been a few issues with HTML encoding in the feature description section in the Silverlight Viewer, but I suspect the issues are resolved as of the newly released 1.5 version. I tested with token values which contain apostrophes and they look correct in both views (the results view on the side and the feature details floating window).

I know that the issue with having "&" in your data has been fixed in 1.5. This was causing issues for me because when this was in the data nothing would display in the map tips.
