How to pass page item values containing colon character

BillUKJan 2 2019 — edited Jan 5 2019

Hi,

I have a select list on Page 1 which has a colon character in its list of return values. I need to use the selected return value in another page, Page 2. I have tried to submit Page 1 on click of a button and then using a branch to set the appropriate page item in Page 2 using the 'Set' property in the 'Link Builder' options. When I navigate to Page 2, I don't get the full return value from the select list, only up to the colon character and the rest gets truncated. I understand that this is an issue related to the passing of values containing special characters, however I'm not sure of the best way to achieve a workaround for this.

Do I need to do some computations to the item either after submit on Page 1 and/or in rendering phase of Page 2 to replace the colon character with another arbitrary value when moving off Page 1 and then replace this back with a colon on rendering of Page 2?

I appreciate any help with this.

Regards
