Header Gets Renamed in Output File from Gallery (Server)

Hello-

 

I have the following field name in the workflow MoM_>90_Total and when running it in the Gallery, the header name changes to  MoM_>90_Total

I have tried to rename the field to Mom>90_Total and the same still happens running in the Gallery.  Anyone experienced a similar issue or have a suggestion? TIA

Not an exact solution to your issue, but a suggestion based on my experience.  It's best practice not to have symbols in field names.  Not all softwares will handle them properly, as you can see with the Gallery.  It's changing your > to the character reference for it.  For < or > in field names I always use GT (greater than) or LT (less than).

Oh, the actual file name?  You probably need to change it in the output tool as well then.
