    Hi Alpha,

    Unless David changes the code for this component it will not accept * as special characters. Add it to a wish list.

    In the mean time you can use this method to split a flat list of strings at the brackets and rejoin them in order to remove them. It will only work with none or one set of brackets in a string item.

    I cannot post a gh file in a comment for a blog so if you cannot figure it out from the image PM me.
