Single Line Text variable removing special characters in a record producer

[Amol Pawar]

Hi All,

I have created a record producer where I have used a single-line text variable. I'm auto-populating that variable with a value from another table's field. But if I use any special character in that table's field and I try to auto-populate that field's value in the record producer's single-line text variable, it removes the special character and whatever text is in front of that special character.

How can I make that variable should allow special characters as well?

Thanks in advance,

Amol

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar,

Thank you for your reply. I got a solution for this:

var name = current.getValue("intellectual_asset_name");

var sysID = current.sys_id.toString();

var iaowner = current.getValue("ia_owner");

var unit = current.unit;

var company = current.getValue("the_ip_asset_is_owned_by");

var ipid = current.ip_id;

var encodedName = encodeURIComponent(name);

var encodedSysID = encodeURIComponent(sysID);

var encodedIaowner = encodeURIComponent(iaowner);

var encodedUnit = encodeURIComponent(unit);

var encodedCompany = encodeURIComponent(company);

var encodedIpid = encodeURIComponent(ipid);

var link2 = "/ip?id=sc_cat_item&sys_id=1234567890&sysparm_rec_name=" + encodedName + "&sysparm_rec_sysID=" + encodedSysID + "&sysparm_ia_owner=" + encodedIaowner + "&sysparm_unit=" + encodedUnit + "&sysparm_brand_owner=" + encodedCompany + "&sysparm_ip_id=" + encodedIpid;

gs.getUser().savePreference("sfRedirectPortal", link2);

If we use encodedURI component then it is allowing auto populating with special characters as well.

Thank you,
