SYMPTOMS
When you use the Business Desk, modifications to a product that is assigned to a category may not complete. This may occur for categories in the catalog if the category name contains an ampersand character (&) and the category is set as the primary parent category.
CAUSE
The Business Desk does not properly handle and delimit the ampersand character (&).
WORKAROUND
Avoid using ampersand characters (&) when you name categories.
RESOLUTION
To resolve the problem, make the following change to the Business Desk site.
Replace the following line in Edit_product.asp
<template register="ass_category primary_parent" >
with the following:
<template register="ass_category" >
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
This condition occurs when a user assigns a product to a category in a catalog and the catalog name includes an ampersand (&), such as "Category1 & Category2". If the user sets the primary parent category to the same, the user cannot make changes to the product attributes in the future.
