Problems with Lookup Tables and Umlauts

[FelixHartmann]

Hi,
I'm currently using a lookup table extension to map cities to their Ids.

The contains operation fails to work, if there are umlauts in the city-name.

Is there a known issue or best practice for handling this?

The ASCII-codes of both the JS-variable and the entry of the lookup table are identical.

Best regards,

Felix

Hello @FelixHartmann,

UTF-8 encoding needs to be turned on in publishing in order to get the umlaets to work! Please find below the link to document to configure UTF-8 encoding.

Let us know if this helps. Happy to assist any further.

Thanks
