Put symbol & in content center family table

[zakwanZKAWA]

Hi, I wanna put symbol '&' in my family table but its doesn't appear. So, is there any solution to make the symbol '&' available?

a) I want to make the table appear like this:-

b) But it appear like this:-

Does it work if you enclose the entire string in quotes?

[dave.cutting]

It's a control character within content centre, so it can't be used anywhere.

[zakwanZKAWA]

Nope. It still doesn't show the symbol

So, does it mean it is not possible to put symbol & in the family table?

If you don't use column properties you can just type it in to each cell. 
I think it's because you're in the field where you create an expression and you just want a text string.

Even quicker way is to just edit with excel and you can copy paste it to all the cells.

Hi thank you for the reply!

I had done the same as you did but when i pressed apply then okay, the table will return back to default. It still doesn't detect the symbol '&'.

a) edited table

b) After pressed apply and okay (turn back to default)

Everything is fine until you click OK....

I think maybe the only way to do this is to have it as a custom iProperty, but you'd have to replace the template file. So the '&' lives in a property rather than the table.
