Symptoms

When a configured parent has a required segment linked to a UDC that contains return values with spaces and special characters (e.g., ' "), configured children with calculated segments will not be able to reference that parent's segment.

Steps:
1. Create parent and child configured items (P4101/P41026).
2. In the parent's Configured Item Segments (P3291), create a required segment linked to a UDC that has special characters (spaces, double quotes, fractions, etc.).
3. In the parent's P Assembly Inclusion Rules (P3293), make the configured child a component of the parent.
4. In the child's Configured Item Segments (P3291), create a calculated alphanumeric segment.
5. In the child's C Assembly Inclusion Rules (P3293), create a rule that returns the value from the parent's required segment. For example:
SEG 30 EQ Derived Calculation S20=CFGPARENT=  
6. Create a Sales Order (P4210) for the configured parent.
7. When the system calls Configured Item Revisions, select a value from the parent's required segment drop-down.
8. Click Validate Configuration; notice that the parent is able to save the required segment, but the child's calculated segment that references the parent segment returns the error character.
9. Test the issue where a selected value from the UDC does NOT have spaces or special characters. Notice that the calculated segment on the child references the value from the parent as expected.
