We have a extension that grabs the URL of the current app/sheet being viewed and attaches the current selections as an encoded string and then copies the result to the clipboard. The purpose is to allow the user to share a link to the sheet being viewed and have the same selections applied to it when the recipient of the link views it. The resulting string has the form:
The field selection encoding process basically wraps each selection value in square brackets, delimits selection values with semicolons and then calls javascript encodeURIComponent() function on the bracketed/delimited segment.
This seems to work fine until the length of the link hits about 575 characters (about 13 selections) and then the server returns:
HTTP Error 400. The request URL is invalid.
I've tried it using both Chrome and Edge and get the same result. From what I've read, there shouldn't be a limit to the URL length at least until you hit around 2048 characters. I'm well under that. Is there maybe a limit to the number of selections that can be specified on a URL?
