If you end a field with a backslash:
something\
Then use that field in a conditional:

It’s throwing a t string error.  Replicated on my install.

I am not sure if this is the best way to “subscribe” to this issue. But I reported it in the forums, and would like to keep track.

My boss has asked me to chase this one up. Is there any movement at all, even a starting point for our own investigation would be good, if not a complete solution or workaround.

Thanks.

When comparing fields with backslashes, use the entity for comparison.

Example:

{if field == ‘ends with backslash\’}
{/if}
