Plus sign is replaced with space when passed on via URL prepopulate method.

    I'm passing an email address that contains a plus (+) sign through the URL paramters (ie: first+last@email.com)

    But upon form submission, the + sign gets replaced with a space.

    This causes the email to be invalid, and not received.

    I found an old thread that discusses same thing, but it looks to be happening still: Plus sign (+) is being replaced with a space. (jotform.com)

    Any ideas?

    Unfortunately, I'm unable to replicate this. Please check my screencast below. You can see that the + symbol if passed from Form 1 to Form 2.

    I'm checking your last form https://www.jotform.com/211807610950249 and you don't have any email field. Can you please try passing a data using an email field and let us know how it goes.
