Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

In the most recent release, applying budget templates with a schedule containing special characters doesn't actually do anything. Up until 25.3, a line such as #template schedule full [CC] Robot Vacuum worked, but after updating it stopped working. In my case, I use brackets to denote categories for easier filtration.

How can we reproduce the issue?

  1. Create a schedule containing special characters such as brackets. i.e. [CC] Example schedule and set a value to it
  2. Add it as a template to a budget, i.e. #template schedule [CC] Example schedule
  3. Apply budget template and check that it didn't get applied (doesn't work with full either)

My guess is that you need to change out the "[]". Those are used in the parsing now

Thanks for the quick reply! I assumed as such, or at least that certain characters are used internally now. But is this documented anywhere?
