Square bracket in field value & url select

frheblou — Tue, 19 Oct 2021 09:29:18 GMT

Hi.

I am trying to use app integration API to create a link to an app with some filters.

Problem is some of the filter values have square brackets in them. Square brackets are used by the API to recognise search terms and numeric values, so it just won't work.
Here' an example field value : "[Validating] Data"

[link to sheet]/options/clearselections/select/FieldName/[Validating] Data

I tried several syntaxes with and wihtout url encoding without success.

Do you have an idea ?

Thanks & Have a nice day

Have you tried encoding the square brackets and space by replacing the left square bracket with %5B, the right square bracket with %5D and the space with %20? E.g.

..../options/clearselections/select/FieldName/%5BValidating%5D%20Data
