If you please...  trying to set a script string value containing parenthesis as follows:

(IE:AUTOPILOT_SPEED_MODE) 0 == if{'FMS'} els{'MAN(t)'}

but the "els" segment is not recognized.  If I remove the parenthesis from the value it works fine.  Also if I replace the parenthesis with apostrophes (as documented in the manual) as follows:

(IE:AUTOPILOT_SPEED_MODE) 0 == if{'FMS'} els{'MAN 't''}

that works fine as well.  So I tried the "&" equivalent for the parenthesis-- ( and ) -- but that didn't work.  Those "&' codes were rendered literally.

Any way to use parenthesis in string values?

Thanks.

Where are you trying to display them?

The only option would be to use brackets instead. In general, this looks like something to be added in the next version of AAO.

In a Rotary Encoder 'Icon Text Variable' using the 'S' type of course.  I chose to use the ' for now  Thanks for your attention.
