  • Description

    Collapse
    If an item contains special characters in the display name, the display name and the item name might be wrongly encoded.

    For example, when changing the "Home" display name to 
    "Home(test)"
    this results in 
    Item name: "Home (test)"
    Display name: "Home (test)"

  • Solution

    Collapse
    To resolve the issue, download and install the hotfix compatible with the affected product version:
    • For Sitecore XP 9.2.0: SC Hotfix 397794 -1.zip
    • For Sitecore XP 9.3.0: SC Hotfix 444918-2.zip

      Be aware that the hotfix was built for a specific Sitecore XP version, and must not be installed on other Sitecore XP versions or in combination with other hotfixes. In case any other hotfixes have already been installed on a certain Sitecore XP instance, send a request for a compatibility check to Sitecore Support.

      Note that the ZIP file contents need to be extracted to locate installation instructions and related files inside. The hotfixes must be installed on a CM instance and then synced with other instances using standard development practices.
