    I was in the middle of writing this out as a question when I figured it out myself, so I’m sharing the solution.

    Ever need to use JSON Content Importer to make a link to one url with an array of values in the middle as a list of comma separated items? For example…

    https://example.com/?filter=items+in+(item1,item2,item3,)

    Don’t do this…

    <a href="https://example.com/?filter=items+in+([jsoncontentimporter url="https://jsonurl..." basenode="resource"]{item},[/jsoncontentimporter])">link</a>

    Keeping the shortcode parameters in regular ” ” quotes inside the <a href=""> url also wrapped in ” ” will fail. Only one set can have those. The other will need single ‘ ‘ quotes. Both of these versions below worked, so it doesn’t matter which gets single or double quotes.

    <a href='https://example.com/?filter=items+in+([jsoncontentimporter url="https://jsonurl..." basenode="node"]{item},[/jsoncontentimporter])'>link</a>

    <a href="https://example.com/?filter=items+in+([jsoncontentimporter url='https://jsonurl...' basenode='node']{item},[/jsoncontentimporter])">link</a>

    cool. thank you!

    You might use {item:urlencode} if {item} can have unknown or not perfect defined values…
