Auto complete - selecting a result that contains an ampersand doesn't work as expected

Its not possible to select a result that contains an ampersand (&) from an auto complete element.
Selecting a result that has an ampersand results in an empty edit box (instead of showing the selected result in the edit box).

See the ticket below for more info:

https://github.com/orbeon/orbeon-forms/issues/1082

Thanks,
Fola.

Hi Fola,

A quick update on this one: I managed to reproduce the issue, and will see if I can find a quick fix for it. I'll let you know.

Hi Fola,

The issue is that the Spotify service you're calling returns a 400, saying it doesn't find any information about the selected track, as the track name it receives isn't properly URL-encoded. You can encode the value by using {encode-for-uri($fr-search-value)} instead of just {$fr-search-value} in the resource, and this isn't something that the component can do automatically for you.

In fact, this should always be done, as you never know what characters users will type, and I updated the documentation accordingly:

You'll let us know if this works for you.
