You’re a life saver. Thanks a bunch!
Dear VATSIM Tech Department,
I am encountering an issue when trying to include a “/” in the RMK/ field of the flight plan on VATSIM through a URL. Any string containing slashes (“/”) is not accepted, which leads to the entire content of the RMK/ field being deleted.
For example, CALLSIGN/XXX
is part of the remark field, and when it includes a “/”, such as CALLSIGN/XXX
, the content is removed instead of being processed and included in the flight plan. This seems to be due to the slashes being treated as special characters in the field, causing an unwanted deletion of the entire remark text.
I would appreciate any assistance in avoiding this issue, as it is currently preventing the proper inclusion of CALLSIGN/
in the RMK/ field.
Thank you for your support.
Best regards
Not sure how often Tech folks are on the forums. Suggest sending a message on the Community Discord or opening a support ticket with the Tech department.
Apologies Don, but that’s incorrect. The website itself says it should be reported here.
And I am sure that @1277383 looks here regularly
Gotcha, thanks for the realignment. That’s what I get for triaging forums in the middle of the night when I should be sleeping! Thanks!
I do check this post often
That’s a known issue. For the initial implementation, unrecognized fields were discarded. The next update will add some extra features to the parser and form based on feedback from users here, I’ll see if I can handle this case better for the update
