Unexpected character '-' at position x exception
SA-9466
Summary
When the user double-clicks the work object to open, only when the property has dot in the name it behaves incorrectly. There are two patterns:
a) There is no error but on screen it does not show the property data.
b) Exception occurs. Users are able to catch the trace. It throws an error.
If the property does not include dot, the work object opens without any problem.
Error Messages

Steps to Reproduce
