Can't create SNMP trap mapping

I'm trying to create an event mapping in ZenOSS 5.0.9 from a numeric SNMP OID, but am having trouble; when entering the numeric OID in the Event Class Key field, ZenOSS is complaining that periods are not allowed characters -only letters, numbers, spaces, underscores, and dashes are allowed characters. Using the 'Reclassify an Event' button as described in the docs doesn't work as the OID is too long; it's truncated in the Event Class Key field in the newly created mapping and I can't add a transform in any case; I run into that 'Invalid characters' error message when I try. Anyone know how to do this in ZenOSS 5 It was possible in v4.2.5. Thanks again.

Reported. But also, for anyone else looking at this, another - and probably better way as implented by the dev team- is to create a custom MIB mapping. I did find that going to Advanced -> MIBs -> Add Blank MIB, mapping the numeric OID to a text value works, and works well. All numeric OIDs that I need mapped for a transform I now do through this method, and Event Class mapping works as expected now.
