Header Gets Renamed in Output File

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

The greater than symbol is being renamed to ">" probably because workflows are stored as XML and the > symbol is also used to create xml tags.  So ">" is the "escaped" version of ">".  I recommend reporting this to Alteryx Support.

 

In the interim, you might try a similar-looking symbol, like this one:  ᐳ
