Set item values in column link doesn't like special characters... like comma or #

wjpenfoldOct 1 2018 — edited Oct 1 2018

This is an APEX application to clean up address data coming in from a web application.  The user selects an entry from a list to view the address data, if the data needs to be cleaned up, they click a column link that sends them to an update page.  Item values are set in the Link Builder - Target.  But if the address contains special values like comma or #, then the item value is truncated, or ends up in the next column.  I've tried adding backslashes before and after the value in the Link Builder - Target window:  \#street_line_1#/\   And I've tried concatenating a backslash to the value itself.  No luck.  What am I missing?  Any other way to escape these values?
