URL Links in note break in Enketo, don't display properly in WebForms

1. What is the issue? Please be detailed.

In Enketo URLs are displayed properly, but the URL is different from the original in the XLSForm. It changes %20 to %2520 making the link break.

Good

Bad
https://ihsmsubtropicals.uma.es/downloads/Persea%2520americana/PDFs/Descriptors%2520avocado%2520IPGRI%25201995.pdf

Not sure why this is, but just wanted to make sure its on the docket to address this in webforms.

2. What steps can we take to reproduce this issue?

make a note and in the label column put something like this:

[IPGRI. 1995. Descriptors for Avocado (Persea spp.). International Plant Genetic Resources
Institute, Rome, Italy.](https://ihsmsubtropicals.uma.es/downloads/Persea%20americana/PDFs/Descriptors%20avocado%20IPGRI%201995.pdf)

3. What have you tried to fix the issue?

I loaded it in webforms as well…but that also doesn’t work.

4. Upload any forms or screenshots you can share publicly below.

Enketo

Web Forms

It's been encoded twice? (once to convert space to %20, then again to convert % to %25)

Do different browsers all result in the same encoding?
