I think I may have run into unexpected behaviour. I’m trying to pass some text in a user parameter via a workspace runner but it’s stripping out the quotes within the text when I try to retrieve it.
The text I am trying to pass through to a child workspace:
"Building_Use" = 'Residential'
In the log of the workspace runner it gets passed along in the command line arguments as:
--SQL_WHERE_Clause {${="Building_Use" = 'Residential'=}}'
and the child workspace receives it correctly when initiating the workbench as:
``--SQL_WHERE_Clause' `"Building_Use" = 'Residential''.
But when this is retrieved via a parameter fetcher or attribute creator it drops the quotes in the child workspace:
Building_Use = 'Residential'
However if I run the child workspace on its own (not via the workspace runner) it retrieves the text correctly.
I can workaround this by replacing “ with another character before and then replacing it within the child-workspace, but I feel this shouldn’t be necessary. I couldn’t find anyone else in the forums with this issue so thought it best to post it here in-case others come across it.
