Your Setup:
- Self-Hosted Seatable Enterprise
- All Versions up until now (5.3.12)
Describe the Problem/Error/Question:
Just a minor thing I have been wanting to report for a long time. From time to time, I’d like to use some attention-grabbing Emojis and special characters (e.g. obtainable with the Windows + . key combination) to draw attention to system notifications that appear in a banner on the main page.
This is also due to the fact that there is no rich text formatting for the banners, which would be nice (wink, wink).
Entering a banner text using some (not all!) Emoji characters often results in a “Internal Server Error” toast. Most annoying: The text that just has been changed is lost.
To reproduce:
- Create a system notification using plain envelope “
” - works - Create a notification using the sealed envelope “
” - Internal Server Error
Edit: You can’t copy & paste the character from this forum post to reproduce - it will turn into :e_mail: because the forum software seems to translate UTF-8
Both symbols can be used anywhere else in Seatable, so I suspect an encoding restriction where the system messages are stored. This would be less annoying if there’d be a rule what is allowed, and what not.
Quite obviously, there is an API call in the background that fails:
