Cannot Add SQ Equity Data Symbols containing a special character

Cannot add SQ Equity Data symbol due to the $ not being one of the allowed special characters. Same with ^ symbol in yahoo data indices.
Please add these characters to the list and/or provide a way to rename the ticker on adding. Or can automatically remove characters that don't comply with the Symbol Name specifications.

I have tested it in the latest version - this scenario is working:

- open Data Manager screen

- choose SQ Equity Data / Find Data

- select exchange=Index

- choose $GSPC.D

- this is added to databank (I expect that at this moment error occures at your system)


what version of SQ are you using? The latest development version (dev6) already support $ and ^ characters.  (attaching the screenshot)


Is my scenario the same as your?

Yes I apologize I was using v136 dev 3 at the time. Seems to be fixed now in v136 dev 6 . Though I did find a small bug on the SQ data that goes back past 1970.
