Consistent Validation for List and Automation Names

Lists, Automations

An issue was resolved where special character restrictions for List Names and Automation Names were not consistently enforced across all entry points, which allowed unsupported characters to be saved when requests bypassed the user interface.

What This Fix Means:

  • The system now consistently validates List and Automation names at all entry points.

  • Unsupported special characters such as <, >, ", ', %, ;, (, ), &, and + can no longer be saved.

  • Naming rules are now applied the same way whether names are created in the UI or submitted through other methods.

  • This fix closes a validation gap and ensures more reliable, predictable behavior across the platform.
