Issue/Introduction

Links that contain the % symbol become invalid as the character is encoded %25 when opening.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

  1. Go to MUX > My Workspace > To Dos
  2. Create a Checklist and Add a To Do 
  3. Click on Actions > Add Link
    • Sample link that can be added: https://www.example.com/search?q=hello+%25+world
  4. Click on the link we created above

Expected Results: The same link to open https://www.example.com/search?q=hello+%25+world
Actual Results: The link redirected to is:  https://www.example.com/search?q=hello+%2525+world

The % symbol that was encoded as %25 is encoded again as %2525. This happens with any encoded character that contains the % symbol
