      Issue Summary

      If users' display name contains an ampersand sign (&) then on Assets UI under user type attribute is represented with HTML entity

      &

      This is reproducible on Data Center: (no) 

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create an Atlassian Account with display name which contains ampersand sign (&). For example, I created an account A&A@example.test.com which made the display name as A&A 
      2. Create a object with user type attribute
      3. Add the user created in step#1 in the user attribute

      Note: Also tested with other special characters like:
      – Plus sign +
      – Hyphen -
      – Underscore _
      – Tilde ~
      for these characters it shows correct display name

      Expected Results

      Users display should be A&A in the Assets view

      Actual Results

      We see user display name as

      A&A

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
