When creating a new authorized value in:
Home › Administration › Authorized Values › New authorized value
There is no control on what the user enters as the authorized value.
However, entering a value which includes spaces or any special
character(quotes, accents, etc.) will create problems at other places in the
admin interface.
Proper instructions are also required on the page (with the list of allowed
characters) as well as in the manual.

Here is an example of issue this can generate:

use CCODE as the type used to limit branch transfer
create CCODE values like "compact disc", "children's music"
go to Home › Administration › Set Library Checkin and Transfer Policy
tabs are not working because of the malformed CCODE value.
