On existing and new forms when using the username() function the result has additional unusual characters such as, i:0#.w|ttl\wrightk (it previously just said wrightk). It designer when previewing the form it shows as expected but once on SharePoint for the user to complete the unexplained happens. Would appreciate any help Thanks
