 * In the Forminator plugin, when transferring a form to another panel, I get an
   error that it cannot contain spaces or special characters. I cannot check this
   because the code block is very very long, can you help me how to solve it?
   Thank
   you very much

 * Hello [@emreayhan25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emreayhan25/) !
 * Sorry to hear you’ve experienced an issue while using Forminator!
 * I did a quick check and I wasn’t able to replicate the issue on my end. Can you
   confirm so we understand correctly – you’re exporting a form and you’re trying
   to import it on another site, is that correct?
 * Can you share an export of the form so we can take a look and check what may 
   be going on? You can use a service such as [https://pastebin.com](https://pastebin.com)
   to share the code – once done, please share a link here. Please don’t paste the
   export code here directly as it will likely get processed and we won’t be able
   to check it.
 * Kind regards,
 * Paweł

 * Yes, I want to transfer a form to another site, but I keep getting a space and
   special character usage error. I also had this problem when I tried to transfer
   it to other websites, can you help me?
   Thank you

 * Hi [@emreayhan25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emreayhan25/),
 * Hope this message finds you well and sorry to hear you are experiencing this 
   issue.
 * After giving it a closer look and validating the JSON file, it seems some Description
   fields contain texts like this one:
 * `<ul>\n<li>Toepasbaar voor Project realisatiekosten >4550\u20ac<br><4550\u20ac
   direct op afdelingsexpense.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>De aanvragende
   afdeling stelt een A3 op die wordt ingediend bij TechOps (RE) om als project 
   te worden opgenomen in de<br>Local Capital List.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p
   >\n<ul>\n<li>Bij het opstellen van de A3 kan technische expertise van buitenaf(
   b. leveranciersinput) nodig zijn. Deze input kan door TechOps (SME of Project
   Co\u00f6rdinator) geleverd worden.<\/li>\n<\/ul>`
 * It broke the JSON importation file, when I removed all those descriptions, I 
   could import the form.
 * I did escalate this issue to our Forminator devs team. Once I get a reply from
   them we will get back to you, your patience on this is widely appreciated.
 * Kind regards.

 * Hi [@emreayhan25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emreayhan25/)
 * I understand that this is a pressing issue but we need our developers to come
   up with some kind of a patch for it. Otherwise we could only manually edit the
   file to simply remove all those problematic strings but that’s not really a solution
   as you would need to manually edit imported form after that and re-add them.
 * So we need some sort of a “software solution” for that and our developers are
   looking into it but I’d appreciate some patience as they are dealing with a lot
   of complex tasks on daily basis.
 * We’ll update you here as soon as we got feedback from them.
 * Kind regards,
    Adam

 * Hi [@emreayhan25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emreayhan25/),
 * Our Developers provided the form and fixed the issues that were breaking the 
   importation. Still, this has been reported as a bug and they will fix it in the
   future, but we can’t provide an ETA about when this will fix it yet.
 * You will find the form here:
    [https://pastebin.pl/view/04f74b3c](https://pastebin.pl/view/04f74b3c)
 * You should be able to import it now.
 * Let us know if you require additional assistance.
 * Kind regards,
    Laura
