Pass Single Quotes in a Mapper Variable

You can pass single quotes in a mapper variable without using an escape character. Consider the following example. The Expression Builder shows the following value.

This image shows the Source elements, Mapping Canvas section, and Target elements. The highlighted Target element is 'ACTIVATED'. The Expression Builder at the bottom shows a value of 'ACTIVATED' |.

Use an XSL variable to denote single quotes. You can also use an assign action variable.

<xsl:variable name="quote" value="'"/>;

Use a concat function to append the quotes to the actual value.

<xsl:value-of select="concat($quote,$value,$quote)"/>

Note that the output on the test page and the Track Instances page shows the following.

apos;ACTIVATED&apos

This is a display issue only and can be ignored. The value is successfully passed.
