- could you attach an EAD for something this is happening to so that we can take a look? There are some other ampersand issues noted in JIRA, but we want to see if what you're experiencing is different. You're referring to the PDF on the staff side, it sounds like?
Yes, the error is occurring when printing to PDF from the staff user interface. Here's some sample EAD where the errors are occurring. Note: on exporting the ead the & was replaced with &
<c id="aspace_ref1515_95e" level="file">
<did>
<unittitle>Bird &amp; Son Company</unittitle>
<unitid audience="internal" identifier="21453"
type="Archivists Toolkit Database::RESOURCE_COMPONENT">21453</unitid>
</did>
</c>
Here's what the same title looks like in the staff interface.
Manually correcting the ampersands to &amp; has been fixing the errors, but this wasn't necessary pre-upgrade.

Thanks to , a fix has been applied for the ampersand issues with the staff PDF. It will be included in the release candidate for 2.6.0 that we hope to put out this week. Testing is very much encouraged!
