Qlik Sense June 2018 - URL address cut at "equal" (%3D)

Hi,

I found a similar issue to


Jira issue ID: QLIK-86591

URL is cut if it contains “%27” or single quotation mark (‘)

Description: If a Text or Image object contains a URL with %27 or a single quotation mark (‘), the URL is truncated after those characters. %27 is the encoded character for the single quotation mark.

if an URL is such format: "URLBase/suburl?OP=SEARCH+FACTORY=KD+Ref.id=12345", the URL is cut  at the second equal (=, %3D) symbol

"URLBase/suburl?OP=SEARCH%2BFACTORY"


on previous version (November) there was no such issue

I've tested with June Patch1 .. but the bug is still there

I've tested in the September 2018 release and am still seeing the same issue.

Before June 2018, our users were able to click on a url to take them directly to an invoice in our online financial system, but it no longer works. Here's a sample url:

https://www.myurl.com/invoice.pl?app=tb;action=edit_invoice_view;invoice_id=7996

Qlik translates this as follows:

https://www.myurl.com/invoice.pl?app%3Dtb%3Baction%3Dedit_invoice_view%3Binvoice_id%3D7996

The destination application rejects this format. I don't know what format Qlik used before June 2018, but it worked before then, and it no longer works now. I suspect Qlik formerly did not encode the "=" or the ";", and now it does, and our destination application does not know what to do with this encoding.

Note: I just now discovered a related thread at Qliksense: URL Encoding ($=%24).

Apparently Qlik plans to fix this in the November 2018 release.
