I want to use more then 1 query param for custom list form. So, this is XML definition: _layouts/MyPage.aspx?param1=x&param2=y

When custom form is called for new listitem it sending request like this:

_layouts/MyPage.aspx?param1=x&param2=y

My thoughts are, that querystring being encoded before redirecting from standard SP list form to my custom. I tried also CDATA - didn't work.

  • for now, I concat all my params into 1, but I hope its not the best you could do: /MyPage.aspx?aggregatorparam=param1-x.param2-y – dbardakov Mar 27 '13 at 7:03

An ampersand in XML must be escaped as &, so your software is behaving quite correctly. When the XML is parsed by the recipient, assuming a correct XML parser, it will translate the escaped & back to &.

  • you are right, but I don't want to customize standard SP listform.aspx that works with all site list forms. – dbardakov Mar 27 '13 at 7:13
  • The problem is that the ampersand is being XML encoded for storage by SharePoint, but SharePoint does NOT properly DECODE the & back into a an ampersand, instead using the & as part of the resulting query string. – Zarepheth Oct 27 '13 at 18:56
