I am trying to save changes to a profile but keep getting this error: "Change Before Saving Invalid characters in Birth Location."  I am unable to find any information to solve this issue.  Suggestions?  The change uses a Sourcer generated citation which have never generated any issue before this. Profile is Kessler-1013

closed with the note: Here is the problem child "Methodist Hospital/St. Louis Park".  Took th eslash out and no more problem.  Sure would be nice to have a list of illegal characters.

The profile is privacy locked so we can't open the edit tab.  What are you trying to enter as birth location?  The error does not involve the citation text.
The issue will be related to a character in the "Birth Place" data field. It could be something like an asterisk (*) or a slash (\).
The offending character might not show in the tiny data box.  If you don't see it, scroll as far as possible to the right to make sure it's not hiding at the end of a big white space.
Thanks the / was the problem.
