I’m trying to pass the value of a select to an API -
The print looks like this -
but the API call has " " around the value (encoded to %22) -
Why is the " " being added?
Hello @Tim_Jones,
The URL has a strict format, and certain characters, such as spaces, quotes, and special symbols, need to be encoded to maintain the structure of the URL. Since you are passing a value of type String, it is encoded accordingly.
Regarding the logs, in the first example, you are outputting the value as "'fall24'", while passing "fall24" to the API.
Regards,
Alexander
Thanks for the clarification. I thought the value type was only in the content of the cloud code API; I didn’t realize the encoding would happen when passing the value to the cloud code, if that makes sense.
It is a nice but unexpected feature.
