Question

Captivate 9 metadata.xml VCARD

Hello,

I was publishing multiple Captivate HTML5 projects and when I uploaded them to our LMS (Cornerstone) each one crashed due to an ampersand in the metadata.xml file. I understand that the ampersand is an illegal character but I cannot locate or figure out where the VCARD info is being pulled from. I had our tech guy comb through everything he could on my PC but neither of us understand where the information is coming from. Here's the xml code:

<centity>
                <vcard>
                    BEGIN:VCARD
                    VERSION:2.1
                    FN: NC State Board of Elections & Ethics Enforcement
ORG: NC State Board of Elections & Ethics Enforcement
EMAIL;PREF;INTERNET: elections.sboe@ncsbe.gov
URL:  www.ncsbe.gov
                    END:VCARD
                </vcard>
            </centity>
 
The issue is that the organization name no longer contains "& Ethics Enforcement" and is not found anywhere in publish settings. My theory is that the org info is buried somewhere on the PC but that's out of my wheelhouse. I even built a small program from scratch to test it and the metadata file also included the above. Anyone have any suggestions?

    In my SCORM files - the vcard information matches what I have entered in the project information.

    Yes, I understand that but the "& Ethics Enforcement" isn't there on any module, only NC State Board of Elections. That's why I think that it's being pulled from somewhere else. In the test module that I created yesterday I left those spaces blank and it still appeared in the metadata file. I've been using Captivate since Captivate 4 and have never run into this before.

    Does your institution use a corporate license - or is this a single licensed install?

    I wonder if a larger Adobe account of some sort is pulling it in.

    Have you - or are you able - to check the profile through which you are logged in to Captivate?
