Current behavior:
Hard validation checks have been implemented when maintaining dimensions manually. If an invalid character is found in a member name, an error message is displayed (see below).
Issue:
However, the same hard validation checks are not currently supported when importing hierarchies in bulk. As a result, members containing invalid characters can still be imported into dimension hierarchies. Since bulk import is the most efficient and commonly used method for end users, the lack of validation poses a high risk of data inconsistency and process failures.
Request:
We would like to request that the same hard validation checks be applied during the hierarchy import process as well, so that invalid member names can be detected and rejected at the time of import.
