Spaces are encoded improperly in Dossier when validating a link

Starting with the release of Strategy ONE (March 2024), dossiers are also known as dashboards.
[Symptom]
In Strategy 10.11, the encoding of spaces becomes %2520 rather than the correct %20 in the URL when validating the link, leading to a page not found when clicking the link.
 
[Steps to Reproduce]

1. Generate a URL that uses %20 like the sample below:
   
1. <Domain name>/MicroStrategy/asp/Main.aspx?evt=4001&src=Main.aspx.4001&visMode=0&reportViewMode=1&reportID=CEF3C2B64463B7202F49AF81FCA9BE35&Server=<Server Name>&Project=Strategy%20Tutorial&Port=0&share=1

 
NOTE: This can be obtained in the Strategy Tutorial project by right-clicking any report, document or dossier and selecting Share…
 

1. Navigate to an attribute from Dossier, right click it and select Create Links:

1. Paste the link gotten in step 1 to the Link Editor

1. Validate the URL and click save.
2. Click on one of the attribute elements to use the link. You will find that the %20 encoding has been changed to %2520
   
1. http://<Domain name>/MicroStrategy/asp/Main.aspx?evt=4001&src=Main.aspx.4001&visMode=0&reportViewMode=1&reportID=CEF3C2B64463B7202F49AF81FCA9BE35&Server=<Server Name>&Project=Strategy%2520Tutorial&Port=0&share=1

 
[Cause]
This happens since the Link Editor from Dossier is set up to automatically encode spaces, causing the %20 to be encoded once again thus leading to the change in the URL.
 
[Workaround]
When using URLs that involve the use of %20, replace the %20 with a space and the URL will be generated correctly. You can refer to the following steps:
 

1. Delete the %20 from the copied URL and replace it with a space

1. When clicking on the link you will find the link is generated correctly.
