Spaces and encoded characters in URL query

    Hello I’m finding that when i use a url query with spaces in (which are encoded as %20 in the url) these are simply missed out when they arrive dynamically in the field

    So the following url 

    https://website.com?SUBJECT:Discover%20The%20Edge

    In the field would be

    SUBJECT:DiscoverTheEdge

    Other characters that also use html encoding are also simply skipped when they appear in the field. Is there any way around this?

    my form field is as follows: 

    [dynamictext your-subject query "CF7_URL part='query'"]

    Super plugin, thanks in advance for the support.

    Yes, off the top of my head, I’m guessing it’s because of the sanitizing and escaping filters.

    If you enable cache compatibility mode for that field like so

    [dynamictext your-subject query dtx_pageload "CF7_URL part='query'"]

    the encoded spaces will remain (as encoded – tried it out here). Shouldn’t be an issue with hidden fields, but I can take a deeper look at the sanitizing to see what’s up.
