I just tried inserting a value "Dr. & Mrs." (yeah yeah I know) as an option value via REST API (using Civi 4.5b1).  Civi drops everything after the ampersand.  I tried URL encoding my inserted value, but that didn't work either - I'm using the Kettle CiviCRM step, the return value is below.  Does anyone have any insight as to have to get ampersands in strings in via REST API?


{"is_error":0,"undefined_fields":["is_active","label","option_group_id","name"],"version":3,"count":1,"id":800,"values":{"800":{"id":"800","option_group_id":"6","label":"Dr. ","value":"33","name":"Dr.  ","grouping":"","filter":"","is_default":"","weight":"33","description":"","is_optgroup":"","is_reserved":"","is_active":"1","component_id":"","domain_id":"","visibility_id":""}}}

Thanks, I'll try that!
