   @DagSonsteboSB It *seems* to me this is due to the textarea for userdata being of ```class disallowSpecialCharacters```.
   This class is tied to a validation method that specically filters for '<' and '>'
   This would be redundant as the field is translated before passing to the API: ```encodeURIComponent(btoa(userdata))```.
   I am not sure (yet) where the translation from '>>' to '\&gt;\&gt;' is done. It is clearly happening before btoa() is called.
   
   PS '\&gt;' you write as '\\\&gt;' in github
