3731098 - Guidelines for Naming Percentage Fields to Avoid Duplicate Symbols

Symptom

The field name displays with a duplicate percentage symbol (%%) instead of a single %.

  • Duplicate Symbols in Field Name
    • The field name displays %% instead of a single % when the field type is set to Percentage and the name already includes a %.
    • Example: Field named %Override Payout Matrix appears as &%Override Payout Matrix
  • Inconsistent Display After Renaming
    • Renaming a standard or custom percentage field may cause the duplicate symbol to appear until the type or label is adjusted.
  • Exported Reports Show Extra %
    • Exports of the field may also display %%, leading to confusion in reports or dashboards.
  • Behavior Varies by Field Type
    • When the field type is changed from Percentage to Amount, the duplicate symbol disappears, and only a single % appears if included manually.
