Search parameter with a hashtag # doesn't work anymore

Application Builder
1

In the Application builder I have a “Path parameters” as a text. I use it to filter on a field “project” in a data source.

We are using the # hashtag to indicate some projects. So some projects have a name like #project1 or #another_project

Usage of the “Path parameters” worked since months. Now it doesn’t anymore.

When the URL is baserow.site/list of the page “list” the parameter for #project1 will be decoded as baserow.site/list%23project1
This worked - but now it is broken.

When I edit the URL manually to baserow.site/listproject1 (delete %23) it works again.

Have any changes been made in the background that affect this?

Hey @be_Berlin thanks for reporting this issue.

Yes we have just released a big versions update so some behaviours might have changed.

The hash support has actually changed but we are working on a way to make it compatible with the new version. We’ll release it soon.

However, even if it’s supported, I would discouraged you to use a # in a variable URL as edgy features are more likely to break at some point.

I’ll let you know when it’s released.

Hey @be_Berlin, the fix has just been deployed to baserow.io.

Yes, it works again as it did before. Thanks for your quick reply and help.

We’ll discuss whether we’ll give up the hashtag # in the future.
