When using vMix variables, an adjusted title text is cut off from an ampersand character onwards

[jarihakkarainen]

Describe the bug I have a GT Title that updates its values from a DataSource. I use an action in Companion to set the value of a Title layer to that of another Title layer using vMix variables. It works but if the read value includes an ampersand (&), the written value gets cut off from that character onwards.

To Reproduce Let's suppose the title "TG" has the text "H&M retail stores" in layer 7 and I want to copy that text to the title.Text layer using vMix variables.

Vmix: Title - Adjust title text

• Input: TG
• Layer: title.Text
• Adjustment: Set
• Value: $(vmix:input_tg_layer_7_titletext)

Expected behaviour title.Text should be replaced by whatever value the variable $(vmix:input_tg_layer_7_titletext) has, in this example "H&M retail stores" but instead title.Text reads just "H" after the action.

System (please complete the following information):

• Companion Version 3.1.2 (3.1.2+6243-stable-05c37a10)
• vMix version 26.0.0.45

The Title - Adjust title text action now has a new option to Encode Value, this will encode whatever the string of text you put in the action is, so that special characters should now work with the action.
