MUT Crashes When CSV Header or Field Contains a Dash in Extension Attribute Name or Value.

[flemingp1]

MUT crashes (force closes) when attempting to import a CSV file that either:
Contains an Extension Attribute column header with a dash (-) in the name,
OR
Has a field value under an Extension Attribute column that contains a dash (-) (e.g., Not-Assigned, Ready-To-Go).
The crash occurs immediately upon selecting the CSV file, with no error message or warning.

Steps to Reproduce:
Case A: Dash in Extension Attribute Header
Open MUT 6.2.1 (65)

Authenticate with Jamf Pro 11.15.1

Load a CSV file with a header like:

Mobile Device Serial,EA_Device-Status
MUT crashes immediately

Case B: Dash in Extension Attribute Value
Use a valid header (e.g., EA_Device Status)

Add a value like Not-Assigned or Student-Loan in the field

MUT crashes immediately after selecting the file.

Environment:
MUT Version: 6.2.1 (65)
Jamf Pro Version: 11.15.1

Workaround:
Removing the dash from either the EA header or the value prevents the crash
Replacing dashes with underscores (_) works, but isn't ideal if EAs in Jamf use dashes

Hello,

I use MUT 6.2.1, and am also on Jamf Pro 11.15.1 (hosted).

The help (https://github.com/jamf/mut/blob/main/README.md) says that a header for an EA should have an underscore and then the ID, i.e. EA_2 or EA_122. I've never tried anything else.

I update EAs where the data has a dash without any problem. I did it today with EA_48, where I set the value to "verified in storage Unrepairable - Lease 21 (2023 - 2026) Classes of 2029 and 2026" (without the quotes).

Is there anything in the log to indicate what kind of error it is?

thanks,

chris

I've found this issue too, and I found that the MUT does not like when you use an en-dash (Unicode U+2013), but will accept a hyphen. My extension attribute has been set up with an en-dash as one of only a few options in "pop-up menu" mode, which is why I require to enter that exact character.
