What illegal characters can't be used via REST API when uploading documents, including an XML data file?
Answer:
When uploading files into DocuWare using data files, please be mindful of the characters a value contains. The following characters are invalid in an XML file and must be escaped.

& | & |
If the above characters are utilized, the following error may occur;
