Why is it not possible to update a process variable with for e.g. "Testdomain\"?
Without the backslash it works.

The same problem occurs with the inline functions (concat) - for e.g.: @Concat("Testdomain\", "Teststring")

  Have you tried escaping the backslash by using a second backslash?

  e.g.:  "Testdomain\\"

  Thanks for this hint. Update a variable with "Testdomain\\" works. After this, it's possible to Concat two strings e.g. @Concat(${/pd:AP/pd:processFields/pd:Test1},${/pd:AP/pd:formFields/pd:Test2})
  Test1 contains: Testdomain\ 
  Test2 conatins: Test

  Result is: Testdomain\Test

  Are there documentation as to what other symbols would encounter the same issue as the backslash do?

  Hello Ryan,

  Some Commonly used special characters like ('), ("), (\),(?) in your string value needs to escape by prefixing them with a (\).

  Here are some examples:

  "Hello\\" will result in Hello\
  "\"Hi there\"" will result in "Hi there"
  "Someone\'s" will result in Someone's
  "Are you there\?" will result in Are you there?

  for all the characters which need to be escaped , kindly refer the link : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-language/escape-sequences?view=msvc-170

  Best Regards
