3635413 - Special Character Handling Difference After SAP PI/PO Update

• A difference was observed in how special characters, specifically HTML line break tags (<br />), are handled in the response of a REST interface. Although the mapping output remains correct, the final JSON response shows that line breaks appear as plain text 'br /' instead of the expected HTML format '<br />'. 
• This impacts how the response is rendered in the consuming application.
  • Expected Output: "Line 1 <br /> Line 2".
  • Output received after update: "Line 1 br / Line 2".
• The issue occurs after the mapping stage, during the final formatting of the response by the REST adapter.
