I’m currently working on a major new version of the datatool package. This may take a while. Please be patient. (Experimental version available for testing.)

Description
I want to generate a symbol list using the orignial math symbol as the label to define entries, but some symbols will cause errors. In the following example, the first entry is all right, but the second entry does not work.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{glossaries}
\makeglossaries
\newglossaryentry{$L_c$}{name={$L_c$},description={Transportation fixed costs}}
%\newglossaryentry{$\mathbf{I}$}{name={$\mathbf{I}$},description={Information set space}}
\begin{document}
\gls{$L_c$}
\printglossaries
\end{document}
How can I make it work?MWE

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{glossaries}
\makeglossaries
\newglossaryentry{$L_c$}{name={$L_c$},description={Transportation fixed costs}}
\newglossaryentry{$\mathbf{I}$}{name={$\mathbf{I}$},description={Information set space}}
\begin{document}
\gls{$L_c$}
\printglossaries
\end{document} Evaluation
Labels can't contain any content that is unable to expand to a simple string as labels are used to form internal control sequences that store the entry data.
Bear in mind that you also can't do \label{$\mathbf{I}$} which is essentially the same type of thing.
I'm closing this as not a bug as the manual states that labels must be expandable. There is no workaround.
