Clarity supports URL Attributes. Valid external links should be handled correctly. Users get confused if valid links are causing unexpected server issues.
Some characters, like "%2", on an attribute of type URL are causing an exception on the Classic UI Project List view.
Steps to Reproduce:
Expected Results: The Classic Project List view is displaying the new value added on the URL attribute of the project.
Actual Results: The Classic Project List view does not display. Instead an error is thrown: [en - Error][EN - ERROR] [en - Unable to process request - Server or Network error]
Release : 15.x
Component : CA PPM STUDIO
DE60955
Workaround: Reset the Project List View and do not configure this URL data type as a column.
Fixed in Release 16.0.0
The following error is seen on the app-ca.log file
