Maximo Encodes # as %23 in Url of Attached Web Page

Troubleshooting


Problem

When attaching the ul of a web page which includes #, Maximo encodes the # as %23. 
For example http://<host>/hello#world.html becomes http://<host>/hello%23world.html

This can result in unexpected behaviour when clicking on the saved link.
