Passing Parameters with Spaces

Hello QS community,

My team is using QuickSight 1 click embedding (unable to use api embedding at the moment) and we are running into issues passing a parameter with a space.

Using the qs embedding javascript sdk we were able to pass in parameter values that included a space and they would render correctly on the dashboard.

          parameters: [
            {
              Name: 'userGroup',
              Values: userGroups,
            },

Since we are not able to use the api embedding at the moment, we replicated that with 1 click embedding and appended the parameters onto the embedding url and then embed that entire url with parameters in an iFrame. The parameter values with a space are coming across as “test%20value” and not selected the right values in the dropdowns. I will post a picture of what we are seeing.

Is there a way to render this correctly?

        const iframe = document.getElementById('qsContainer');
        const fragment = userGroups.reduce((url, ug) => {
          url.append('p.userGroup', encodeURIComponent(ug));
          return url;
        }, new URLSearchParams());
        iframe.setAttribute('src', `${1clickURL}#${fragment.toString()}`);
