Using "\" as a literal in LISTITEM.

Hi,

I have a field with allowed values which look like

Here for the 2nd item "\" is used as literal and is not used to represent a Group which TFS does by default. When i am trying to import this work item, folowing error is thrown.

Warning: TF26171: User/group 'Rvw30 - ETL\ Reports testing' is not found.
TF26204: The account you entered is not recognized. Contact your Team Foundation
Server administrator to add your account.

How can I force TFS to consider "\" literally instead of treating 'Rvw30 - ETL" as a group name.

Thanks,

Laxmi.

Unfortunately this is not possible. In our design strings with '\' characters are considered account names; this cannot be changed.
