Description
When the property glide.ui.escape_text is set to 'false', the Encoded HTML Entity in the Reference Fields for the ampersand (&) character is no longer displayed. However, if a dashboard has an ampersand in its name, when trying to add a report to this dashboard, the ampersand character in the dashboard name is shown as the Encoded HTML Entity, which for the ampersand character is '&' .
