It would be great to have encode and decode formulas generating URLs.

@Matt_Blais I’m not sure that request is related but I’d love to hear more about how you’d use an encode/decode formula!

I’d like to generate prefilled urls for forms and links and pass fields from Fibery in. At present I can’t use a calculation to generate that url since they won’t encode spaces or special characters.

I’m sure I could use regex but that’s not no code at that point.

Have you tried sharing a form with a prefilled value containing spaces? It works fine for me.  
Are there specific characters that you have found that don’t work?

If it has a space it’s not a url.

But, you may have seen your web browser step in and redirect.
