Cannot get subEntityId on MS Teams tab app on button click

Question

I have a card having buttons and on click on button, It is switching the tab and in url I have context having subEntityId. But I am not able to get subEntityId in context. Below is my JSON:

"content": {
                    "title": "Test Button",
                    "text": "Test Button",
                    "buttons": [
                        {
                            "type": "openUrl",
                            "title": "Edit",
                            "value": "https://teams.microsoft.com/_#/tab::4f09546f-4adb-4395-87ec-86378e31fe72/Test?threadId=19:47f98dafd1924912bc65d9fca24703fe@thread.tacv2&ctx=channel&action=EditDeal&itemId=341708&context=%7B%22subEntityId%22%3A341708%2C%22action%22%3A%22EditDeal%22%7D"
                        }
                    ]
                } 

Can you please help me to find out the cause of this?

Hello,
Can you please try to build your link this way:
Encoded:

https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/<app-id>/<entity-Id>?context=%7B%22subEntityId%22:%22<subEntityId>%22,%22channelId%22:%22<channelId>%22%7D  

Decoded:

 https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/<app-id>/<entity-Id>?context={"subEntityId":"<subEntityId>","channelId":"<channelId>"}  

Important notes:

• Please make sure that you are entering the correct entityId.
• channelId is not required in case of static tabs.
• Please have a look at Create deep links and Get context for your tab.
• If issue isn't resolved, please let us know.

Thanks,

Hunaid
