I tried to add an Open item to my Sharepoint site and it stated the following error message:

Error at line 7. The following variable name contains an illegal character:

"20Tasks/Forms/AllItems.aspx?RootFolder="

The program will exit now

Here is the entire URL I tried to enter

sharepointservergoeshere:8084/sites/dept_IT/ITSD_Internal/Server_Mgmt/Operational%20Tasks/Forms/AllItems.aspx?RootFolder=%2Fsites%2Fdept_IT%2FITSD_Internal%2FServer_Mgmt%2FOperational%20Tasks%2FUnix%20Linux%20Quick%20Ref%20Server%20Lists&FolderCTID=0x01200066E2795CFF815B4385CFEDA48D9C8419&View=%7b7094524B-89AE-4F82-B660-8130CB915F08%7d

Any assistance would be most appreciated.

Thank you,

Joshua

Hi Joshua,

% characters need to be escaped, thanks for bringing this up. The behavior will be improved in the next release, until then please escape the characters manually, like this:

Code: Select all

sharepointservergoeshere:8084/sites/dept_IT/ITSD_Internal/Server_Mgmt/Operational`%20Tasks/Forms/AllItems.aspx?RootFolder=`%2Fsites`%2Fdept_IT`%2FITSD_Internal`%2FServer_Mgmt`%2FOperational`%20Tasks`%2FUnix`%20Linux`%20Quick`%20Ref`%20Server`%20Lists&FolderCTID=0x01200066E2795CFF815B4385CFEDA48D9C8419&View=`%7b7094524B-89AE-4F82-B660-8130CB915F08`%7d
