 * Hello,
 * The custom field relationship is getting me wrong values.
 * When I add the custom field it says that each value must be separated by one 
   line but when I save it gets me all values in one line but between them is a “
   n” character.
 * Also special characters like accents for labels aren’t displayed, it displays
   something like “promociu00f3n” instead of “promoción”.
 * I don’t know when happened this. The version of pods I’m using is 2.5.5 and wordpress
   4.3.1

 * For an extra, I found that this problem was in a earlier version.

 * You definitely shouldn’t have this issue in the current version of Pods. Can 
   you provide your Debug Details from the Pods Admin, Settings screen?

 * I’ve made another test, when I save a field with accent, and then save the pod,
   shows the text in the label with the accent, but if I modify another label and
   save again the pod, the label that was modified first changes to the strange 
   code.
 * Thanks for the reply!

 * This is only in the Simple Custom Defined List relationship, correct?
 * A suggestion, make a Custom Taxonomy or just regular CPT and store your title
   and value as two separate fields. It’s not totally overkill, but I’m guessing
   the problem might specifically be in the Simple Custom Defined List parsing and
   I’d rather have you working than not working.

 * [@omarchh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/omarchh/) I’m marking your issue
   as resolved since you haven’t made any additional activity on it. If you do feel
   this is a bug (and it very well might be), you can open a bug issue on:
