Hi guys,

I someho managed to get a \n newline character in one of my tag values. it’s literally the string “\n” I cannot get it deleted over the api, none of the json escape sequences work. Please advise.

Thank you very much for your help and have a nice day

Hello @tcasanova,

you cannot update tag keys. You can only delete the data and rewrite the data with the corrected tag value.
I know it sucks.

Hi Anaisdg,

Thanks for your input, however deleting is exactly what i’m trying to do. I cannot pass the “\n” over the api, none of the escape sequences seem to work for me. Do you have any tipps on how it might work?

Thanks and have a great day,
Tobias
