Hi Phil,

Thanks for finding and creating this issue!

Here are some details about this issue:

When I first create datasets using my email, which includes an underscore in the middle. Initially, it didn’t display any unusual characters such as \ or others.
.

However, when I clicked on "Edit Dataset" and opened the form, \ appeared before the underscore in the email. Every time I edited other contents and saved, the \ would reappear in front of the email and accumulate.
.
