"+" in parameter not treated as Space for default value about sfdx-record-create-url-component HOT 4 OPEN

This appears to be an issue with how LEX translates the parameters. So not necessarily an issue with this code. But will leave issue here in case someone can solve for it.

Reference (same issue reported for a different situation):
https://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/235913/url-is-formatted-differently-in-classic-vs-lightning

from sfdx-record-create-url-component.

I added a replace to line 73 of the JS to work-around this situation:

eventParamMap.defaultFieldValues[fieldName] = pageRef.state[fieldName].replace(/\+/g, " ");

Hi @savage25, thanks for the detailed feedback and suggested fix.

However, I'm not able to reproduce the issue in Chrome v73. Could you share how you're invoking the URL?

I'm also testing after having updated the API version of the metadata to v45.0 and in a new scratch org that I created tonight.

What I've tried so far is a custom url button on the Account object whose value is:

/lightning/cmp/c__URL_CreateRecordCmp?objectName=Contact&FirstName=Astro+Tom&LastName=Nomical&LeadSource=Phone+Inquiry&AccountId={!Account.Id}

And then I've tried navigating in the browser to this url, too:

https://yourdomain.lightning.force.com/lightning/cmp/c__URL_CreateRecordCmp?objectName=Contact&FirstName=Astro+Tom&LastName=Nomical&LeadSource=Phone+Inquiry&AccountId=0013B00000Z3oHRQAZ

In both tests, the browser's URL correctly translates the + into %20 and the modal form correctly displays the space in the contact's first name "Astro Tom" and selects the correct Lead Source picklist value of "Phone Inquiry".

lightning/cmp/c__URL_CreateRecordCmp?objectName=Contact&FirstName=Astro%20Tom&LastName=Nomical&LeadSource=Phone%20Inquiry&AccountId=0013B00000Z3oHRQAZ

@douglascayers Sorry, I've deleted my previous reply, as I was mistaken on how I was creating the link to the page. Here are the details to how I create the link to reproduce:

APEX Class Function:

public PageReference New_Transaction() {
	PageReference rtnPage;

	rtnPage = new PageReference('/lightning/cmp/c__URL_CreateRecordCmp');
	rtnPage.getParameters().put( 'objectName', 'Tracker_Transaction__c' );
	if ( theTracker.RecordTypeId == Tracker_Validations.mapTrackerRecTypes.get('Flat File').getRecordTypeId()
	   ) rtnPage.getParameters().put( 'Source__c', 'Flat File' );
	rtnPage.getParameters().put( 'STP_Id__c', theTracker.STP_Id__c );
	rtnPage.getParameters().put( 'Profile_Id__c', theTracker.Profile_Ids__c.left(3) );
	rtnPage.getParameters().put( 'Tracker__c', theTracker.Id );
	rtnPage.getParameters().put( 'End_Date__c', date.Today().year() + '-' + date.Today().month() + '-' + date.Today().day() );

	return rtnPage;
}

Visualforce Page:

<apex:commandLink value="New Transaction" action="{!New_Transaction}" target="_blank"/>

When that link is pressed, the "Source__c" parameter populates the Source__c field with "Flat+File".
