Hi is there any way to get the image patterns and standard image to work with a product no. that includes a forward slash ?  We have a client with a sudstantial amount of products that are formatted like this example [123-abc/21]  These images do not show in the PIM module or the front end. We made a custom function for the front end  in a previous project but now the customer is using the PIM moduel it would be nice to get all the images there as well and not use a custom string formating function in the front end. Any thoughts, work arounds? It would be surprising if our client was the only one including / or - in the product no.
