I am facing a problem when passing the variable from on form to another or to the notifier. The URL constructor is like this:
https://form.jotformz.com/xxxxxx?name1[last]={name2[last]}
But some times last names are composed names such as "Van der Graff" or "De Niro" or "del Toro" etc
The problem ist that the notifier compose link is cutting off the link
http://www.jotform.com//?formID=xxxxxxx/?name1[last]=Van der Graff
So, as you can see the link should be all the way thru Graff and addind the %20 space in the URL, but it is not.
What am i doing wrong?

Hi,
I tested one of my own forms and indeed, if anything entered in the text boxes contains a space, the link fill the next form fails:
I will forward this to our developers to have a look. The spaces should be replaced with underscores but it looks like they are not.

I am sorry that one of our support team members does not know that we already have this feature!

You can use the {URLENCODE:field name} to make them safe for links. Example:
{URLENCODE:fullName}
