The regexreplace demands some characters to be escaped, for example in this line that extracts the text of a link:
=regexreplace(regexreplace(string(internal_link), "\]\]", ""), "\[\[.*\|", "")
This works fine in display mode, however in edit mode, the backslash somehow ends the function, making it useless for regex vstrings with special characters:
Dataview (inline field 'regexreplace(regexreplace(string(this.exp_ID.project_ID), "'): Error:

Expected:

I remember that this worked in edit mode during a previous version, however I am unsure which version it has been exactly.
