Hey Everyone,

I'm having an issue with adding saving URLs to the titles of my tour map. Below is the code I'm using:


5 - Composting<br><br><font size="2"><a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/u2pzlocliuuarsu/03-2016%20Progress%20Report%20-%20Composting.docx?dl=0" target="_blank" style="outline: none;"><i>Link to Project Status</i></a></font>

The error in builder mode is just "Save failed, please try again" If I replace the URL with http://google.com, it saves. Using developer tools I got a message saying that the app doesn't know how to handle exclamation points, so I used Dropbox and got a URL without exclamation points, but it's still not saving. I'm not just getting "Timeout exceeded" messages.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Kevin

It got logged as a bug. It's weird how it wasn't happening for Rupert though...

BUG-000095933 : Unable to create new points by uploading images in a Story Map Tour when the Name or Caption has HTML code with a URL containing "%2".

Workaround:

  • Format all URLs so that they do not contain any URL Encoding.
