Power Automate: SharePoint Copy file action fails on file names with a plus (+) sign

Business Data Catalog (BCS) Bug? in SharePoint 2010 with Actions and German umlauts (non-URL encoded)

In my *.bdcm BDC-model file I have a section:

<Actions>
            <Action Position="1" IsOpenedInNewWindow="true" Url="http://demo:5555/Company/userdefined/edit.aspx?id={0}&amp;etc=10022#" ImageUrl="http://demo:5555/_imgs/ico_18_4002.gif" Name="Projekt in MSCRM bearbeiten">
              <ActionParameters>
                <ActionParameter Index="0" Name="ProjectID" />
              </ActionParameters>
            </Action>
            <Action Position="2" IsOpenedInNewWindow="true" Url="{0}" ImageUrl="http://demo:5555/_imgs/ico_18_4002.gif" Name="Projektportal öffnen">
              <ActionParameters>
                <ActionParameter Index="0" Name="PortalUrl" />
              </ActionParameters>
            </Action>
          </Actions>

The name of my actions is "Projektportal öffnen". Once I deployed my BCD-model, created the external content type and created a new external list based on that ECT, I clicked on my action in the actions menu and found the following error:

No Action with the specified ActionName exits in the specified Entity


Checking the SharePoint 2010 log I found the following:

06/10/2010 11:46:19.76 w3wp.exe (0x1500) 0x0DBC SharePoint Foundation Monitoring b4ly Medium Leaving Monitored Scope (Request (GET:http://sharepoint:80/Kunden/_layouts/ActionRedirect.aspx?ItemID=__bkc30013000300e200030003003300e20003003300e20013002300330043005300&EntityNamespace=MSCRMBdcModel.BdcModel&EntityName=Project&LOBSystemInstanceName=MSCRMBdcModel&ActionName=Projektportal%20%C3%B6ffnen)). Execution Time=4458.19817881882 65cb748f-a3cb-4f34-bfd6-776d0570f788

Now lets have a closer look at the ActionName parameter in the querystring:
ActionName=Projektportal%20%C3%B6ffnen  --> URL encoded, which is correct

Comparing it with the browser's errorous URL...
http://sharepoint/Kunden/_layouts/ActionRedirect.aspx?ItemID=__bk420013000300230053007300d200030003001300&EntityNamespace=MSCRMBdcModel.BdcModel&EntityName=Account&LOBSystemInstanceName=MSCRMBdcModel&ActionName=Kundenportal öffnen

ActionName=Kundenportal öffnen  --> URL is not encoded, hence we get an error

Overwriting ActionName with ActionName=Kundenportal %C3%B6ffnen does the trick, even though the space was not encoded.

This was experienced with the english version of SharePoint 2010 Server (Build:14.0.4763.1000)

So far I will replace the German umlaut ö with oe, but its not nice.

Is there any solution to this problem yet?

Yet Another Address Autocomplete PCF Control–powered by Bing

In this blog post I will not go into detail in how to install all the pre-requisites that are required to build and run PCF controls. My goal was to build a new PCF control and get into coding of PCF controls as fast as possible. Here are a few links to articles that will help you installing the pre-requisites (Microsoft PowerApps CLI)  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/get-powerapps-cli Other good references to get into this topic: https://toddbaginski.com/blog/how-to-create-a-powerapps-pcf-control/ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/create-custom-controls-using-pcf I looked through the Guido Preite’s https://pcf.gallery/ which will help you find appropriate use cases / examples for your own needs. It did not take very long to find a simple example to start with: Andrew Butenko's https://pcf.gallery/address-autocomplete/ A few moments later I had the idea to create yet another address autocomplete

Regarding SPFieldMultiLineText (Add HTML/URL content to a field) programmatically

I recently tried so set some HTML content in a SharePoint list column of type SPFieldMultiLineText. My first approach was this piece of code: SPFieldMultiLineText field = item.Fields.GetFieldByInternalName( "Associated Documents" ) as SPFieldMultiLineText; StringBuilder docList = new StringBuilder(); docList.Append( " " ); foreach (DataRow docRow in addDocs) { DataRow[] parent = dr.Table.DataSet.Tables[0].Select( "DOK_ID=" + docRow[ "DOK_MGD_ID" ].ToString()); if (parent != null && parent.Length > 0) { docList.AppendFormat( " {1} " , parent[0][ "FilePath" ].ToString(), parent[0][ "Title" ].ToString()); } } if (docList.Length > 0) { // remove trailing tag docList.Remove(docList.Length-5, 5); } docList.Append( " " ); string newValue = docList.ToString(); item[field.Title] = newValue; What this code does is to get all associated documents to the main document and to add these docu

CRM 2016: The attribute with AttributeId = 'guid' was not found in the MetadataCache.

During the export of an unmanged solution I always received the following error message from my CRM 2016 SP1 OnPremise development system: The attribute with AttributeId = '023bda49-9dfa-401e-b348-9374a4141186' was not found in the MetadataCache. Then I tried to remember what I did since the last solution version. => Yes, there was a field that I deleted, because the customer does not need it anymore. Because I am working on-premise it was easy to check the database for the specific attribute. First, I searched in the attribute table: SELECT [AttributeId]   FROM [Dev_MSCRM].[MetadataSchema].[Attribute]   where [AttributeId] = '023bda49-9dfa-401e-b348-9374a4141186' => result was nothing I concluded CRM deleted the field in this table but missed to remove the attribute from our customer solution. Next thing was to check the solutioncomponent table: SELECT [ModifiedOn]       ,[CreatedBy]       ,[ObjectId]       ,[IsMetadata]       ,[ModifiedBy
