Hi!

I am using Create Blob action to create files in azure blob storage. I have some files that have a (+) symbol in the names of the files.
The action create the files but unfortunately, it replaces (+) symbol with a space. Is the (+) symbol supported or not?

I see it the (Inputs) of the action, the file name has the (+) symbol but in the action (Output) (+) symbol replaced with a space

I am able to rename any file or folder with a (+) symbol in the name in Azure Storage explorer.
Is there any work around to keep this (+) symbol in the file names?

Appreciate your help!

    Hello @Mohammad Amer , the blob name is url-encoded in the backend, that is the reason why the '+' is replaced by ' '. Can you please try replacing the + with %2b? I gave it a quick try and it worked for me. In addition to this I will see if we can add a note to the documentation regarding the same. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

    Please let me know if there are any additional concerns. Thank you!
