    Hello Stoyan,

     

    Can you confirm how you insert the variable into the request? Do you call the variable directly within the request body, or do you use a Data Replacer?

     

    If you are calling the variable directly, then it will be automatically URL-encoded (see this article for more information).

     

    The recommended practice in this case is to create a Data Replacer for that request, which will allow you to specify that the variable will not be converted/encoded.

     

    Hope this helps!

    Hello Ryan,

     

    Thank you very much for your reply and for the article.

     

    Yes, I call the variable directly in the request body.

     

    Usung data replacer should work.

     

    Kind regards,

    Stoyan
