Javascript windows file path work notes text field

[Wyatt Fudal1]

Hello all,

Ran into a weird request. I have to enter a Windows file path into a child incident work notes. The child ticket is created via a UI action. If I keep \\test\test\filelocation in the script. The translation is not correct. I never had to do this before, and I think it's a unique ask. Has anyone run into a similar issue and found a workaround?

Hello @Wyatt Fudal1 ,

In JavaScript, the backslash (\) is an escape character, which means it's used to introduce special character sequences. If you want to include an actual backslash in a string, you need to escape it using another backslash.

So Instead of "\\test\test\filelocation", use "\\\\test\\test\\filelocation". 

Kindly mark the answer ✔️Correct or Helpful ✔️If it addresses your concern.
