Hi everyone,

Always appreciate your help here. I formatted my SharePoint list column using JSON to include my PowerApps link. Problem is it will send the general link for my app, but not the link that points to the specific record.

For example,

I want this:

https://apps.powerapps.com/play/7aeac0a1-2799-49ab-8xxc-e3569790xxxx?tenantId=(Blocked For Privacy Reasons)&NTMAppGov=TMOQuest&ID=7

But get this:

https://apps.powerapps.com/play/7aeac0a1-2799-49ab-8xxc-e3569790xxxx?tenantId=(Blocked For Privacy Reasons)

Here's my JSON entry:

{
"$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
"elmType": "div",
"children": [
{
"elmType": "span",
"style": {
"padding-right": "8px"
},
"txtContent": "@currentField"
},
{
"elmType": "a",
"attributes": {
"iconName": "Mail",
"class": "sp-field-quickActions",
"href": {
"operator": "+",
"operands": [
"mailto:",
"@currentField",
"?subject=Request To Complete Questionnaire&body=The app governance team has requested to fill out this questionnaire.\r\n---\r\n",
"\r\nClick this link for more info. 'https://apps.powerapps.com/play/7aeac0a1-2799-49ab-8xxc-e3569790xx?tenantId=(Blocked For Privacy Reasons)&NTMAppGov=TMOQuest&ID='+[$ID]"
]
}
}
}
]
}

How can I fix this?

    I believe the "&" symbol is causing your problem. I usually use URL encoding (percent encoding) when building URLs in JSON. Replacing the & with %26 should resolve your problem. W3C should have all of the encoded characters for reference. Hope this helps.

    SharePoint JSON formatting now supports replace and replaceAll operators which will help you to replace & with %26.

    For example (using replaceAll operator):

    {
    "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
    "elmType": "div",
    "txtContent": "=replaceAll([$Title], '&', '%26')",
    "style": {
    "font-weight": "bold"
    }
    }
