URL character "&" is converted to "&" on Clipboard
Hey All
In the attachments I have saved an URL which reference to an PDF.
I have created an activity which opens the attachments to get the URL from the PDF.
The URL save to an other property in an activity. In the activity trace the value of the URL is correct, but when i look into the clipboard the character for "&" in the URL is converted to "&" which makes the URL invalid.
Example-URL:
Activity-Trace: http://mydomain.com/document/requestDcouemnt&id=1234&filename=mydocument.pdf
Clipboard:
http://mydomain.com/document/requestDcouemnt&id=1234&filename=mydocument.pdf
When i set a static value in the activity for the URL everthing is working fine.
Is this a known issue?
Why this transformation happens?
Thanks for your help

Hello Christoph,
I have got the similar issue and found the root cause of the issue (Link control). Currently, am working with engineering team for proper resolution.
Request to create SR and provide its reference here.

Hello Christoph,
If you are using Pega 7.3, you may install the HFix-46296. I have tested it and verified the scenario in my local instance.
Else, before installing you may make changes in your environment in below file.
In pzGenerateLinkOrButton RUF, we are getting the formatValue as below.
assembler.addCode("\n\t\ttools.getLocalizedTextForString(\".pyCaption\",\""+pyFormatValue.replaceAll("^\"(.*)\"$", "$1")+"\",StreamBuilder.FMT_NORMAL)");
StreamBuilder.FMT_NORMAL is encoding & to &
So used StreamBuilder.FMT_NORMAL instead.
Replace the above line as below.
if("url".equals(pyFormatType)){
assembler.addCode("\n\t\ttools.getLocalizedTextForString(\".pyCaption\",\""+pyFormatValue.replaceAll("^\"(.*)\"$", "$1")+"\",StreamBuilder.FMT_LITERAL)");
}else{
assembler.addCode("\n\t\ttools.getLocalizedTextForString(\".pyCaption\",\""+pyFormatValue.replaceAll("^\"(.*)\"$", "$1")+"\",StreamBuilder.FMT_NORMAL)");
}
Instructions:
Generate the function pzGenerateLinkOrButton and Save the section containing the link.
Before that we should be passing "pyHTMLDisableProcessing" as true in the parameter page is a must.
This should fix your issue.

Hello Guys,
I believe that the issue is fixed using HFix-22332.
Please confirm your Pega version and raise an SR with Support team for this fix(might require porting).
Thank you,
