Why can I use some punctuation characters (e.g. “$”, “@” etc) in field names?
At the moment, there are some restrictions on the characters which are allowed in a field name – you can use a-z, A-Z, spaces, numbers and “.”, but most punctuation characters are stripped out, or replaced with spaces. The technical reason for this is that catalogs are saved as XML, and we use the field names as XML tags which imposes some limitations.
