[rjhowes73]

Description

When entering an ampersand (&) in the Collaboration Space Information Title and clicking Verify it fails with the attached error. Looking at the Check Space Availability Flow, the step Check Area Type the Get Group Graph API call is failing with error code "Bad Request" and error message ""Invalid filter clause: There is an unterminated string literal at position 65 in 'mailNickname eq 'OGRP-IncidentsData' or displayName eq 'Incidents'."
