Suitecrm: Api/V8 create record does not support unicode and space in attributes

[capkuan]

When create record with Api/V8 it validate attributes with regex pattern const REGEX_FIELD_PATTERN = '/[^\w-,]/', so if you use unicode or space on value will occur error "The option attributes with value array is invalid." in the response.

Hey, were you able to do a temporary fix for this?

[capkuan]

I've changed regex original pattern to new pattern const REGEX_FIELD_PATTERN = '/[^\w-,\s\]/' and json_encode value before send to API. But this is just for temporary fix and not upgrade safe.

Hi

Any idea when we can expect this to be released?
Is there a pull request for this? I see there are 230 open pull requests.
Our usage of SuiteCRM is stuck on this feature.

Hi @capkuan

Is it possible to you to send a PR to hotfix branch with your fix?
We are using this API and earlier than later this issue will bother us too.

I think this error might effecting file uploads as well...
I cant use the "=" sign in any field ( including the filename_file field - which you need for base64 ) - giving the "The option \"attributes\" with value array is invalid. error message..

I will try the fix and report back..

This is blocking our use of the API as well. Anyone know when it will be fixed in main?

Hi @patrickstump, there's a proposed fix here: #6901 but it will need to be code-reviewed + assessed before it can be merged. Have you tried out the fix yourself? if you are able to test it out and leave a comment saying so in that PR it will help us to get it merged faster. Thanks.

I have tried the change const REGEX_FIELD_PATTERN = '/[^\w-,\s\\.\]]/';" adding the \s\\. and my issue was resolved. Please let me know if there is something I can do to help expedite the testing.
