Alexander Posledov updated RANGER-2261:
---------------------------------------
    Description: 
1) Create a policy with "&" symbol in a policy name

2) After creation, "&" will be substituted by &

3) Next, after every policy update, no matter what is being changed, 
\{noformat}& -> &\{noformat} substitution will be performed every time, even if 
user does not change the policy name. Thus, after several updates, simple 
policy name \{noformat}"test&\{noformat} could be turned into 
\{noformat}"test&"\{noformat}.

  was:
1) Create a policy with \{noformat}"&"\{noformat} symbol in a policy name

2) After creation, \{noformat}"&"\{noformat} will be substituted by 
\{noformat}&\{noformat}

3) Next, after every policy update, no matter what is being changed, 
\{noformat}& -> &\{noformat} substitution will be performed every time, 
even if user does not change the policy name. Thus, after several updates, 
simple policy name \{noformat}"test&\{noformat} could be turned into 
\{noformat}"test&"\{noformat}.


> Using '&' in a policy name leads to unintentional name changes during further 
> updates of policy
