    Description

      Using 22.7.12190

      A large portion of our estate uses SNMP v2 communiuty strings that contain a % character. I'm trying to remove this wherever I can, but for now we're largely stuck with it.

      I've configured it in config.php and obs is fine with it – however if using the GUI to update SNMP details for a specific device (e.g. to update the timeout) the input validation for the SNMP community field will fail and prevent the change.

      It'd be handy (and I think more consitent) if the input validation for this page allowed % as a valid character because there are some idiots out there who need to use it...

      Thanks!
