Hello,
I have used fieldfuction like this
field("88/For the Home/Bathroom Furniture/Wall % Floor Cabinets/" ,"&",1)

output I got is 88/For the Home/Bathroom Furniture/Wall % Floor Cabinets/

as per manual it should have returned me "".

Thanks

Where does it say that in the manual? According to the docs, it returned what you asked for (field #1).

My suggestion is to check for & first in the input.
If & presents then use field, else "".
You can code as above.
That will suite your requirement i believe,

I agree and you got exactly what I would have expected. Can you post the verbiage from the documention that you mentioned? Perhaps when it comes to the wording, they choose... poorly.

Not sure there's a "requirement" to be met here, at this point all we have is a question.
