Resolution

With the release of BC 7.4  the BC Admin GUI was modified to not allow characters "<" and ">" to be input in the GUI.  This change was made to address a security concern in the GUI.

You can still set these characters settings by using the HEX values of char "<" (0x3C) and  ">"  (0x3E) to escape this restriction.  This will allow you to configure it as before.
