titleA Note on Quotes

When working with records (like TXT), there is no need to add quotes around the record value - ProVision will automatically add double quotes for the TXT records on Zone Push, and will also automatically use quotes to split TXT values larger than 255 characters. 

If your record value contains internal quotes that you wish to keep, you may escape it by adding a backslash ( \ ) before the quote  from the "Edit Record" screen.

In the Edit Record screen, there is no need to add quotes to the record value, as seen below:

However, if an internal quote exists that you wish to retain, escape it by using a backslash ( \ ) before the quote(s):

When done editing the record, click "Save changes". 


Repeating this to create four TXT record examples, we end up with the following for test1 through test4:

These four records become the following in the zone file once pushed (note the automatic addition of quotes around the values, and the escaped quotes in test3 and test 4):

test1.acctest.com.     3600    IN    TXT    "qweqwe"

test2.acctest.com.    3600    IN    TXT     "qweqwe qweqwe"

test3.acctest.com.    3600    IN    TXT     "\"qweqw qwewq\""

test4.acctest.com.    3600    IN    TXT     "asdsa \" wqeqwe"
