Ethan,

I have been working on the "material question": composing a manual and already applying changes accordingly in FileMaker.

I have noticed that a certain new way of describing the material of an object seems to have an impact on Mantis. The particular change that seems to produce an error in Mantis is the following:
Brass|Copper-Nickel (in this case meaning a brass ring with a copper-nickel center; but materials are interchangeable). After changing the material field in FileMaker this way (vertical slash and hyphen) the record won't show up in Mantis, that is I am receiving an error message, e.g.: http://numismatics.org/collection/2009.31.1

Is it the vertical slash "|" combined with the hyphen "-" which don't get along??

Thank you and have a great evening,
Sylvia
