Adding -*- to stored field value

[SamZ]

Does anyone know what adding -*- to a stored value in a form field does? For example:

Display value: Unsubscribe

Stored value: -*-Unsubscribe 

Thanks,

Sam

Doesn’t have an inherent meaning. Where are you seeing this?

[SamZ]

It was included in an older smart campaign for our email preference center. We have a custom field, Communication Preferences, and interestingly there is no "unsubscribed" value for it. However, on the preference center form, the stored value says,

-*-Unsubscribed. 

I hadn't seen that before and wasn't sure if it was something similar to a token or a hack for linking to the unsubscribe field and wanted to confirm before I made any changes/updates.

Maybe something they were using on the form side, but again not special.

Thanks, Sanford!
