>Make a URL formula field like this in order to do the URLEncoding for the last part of the URL
You don't need to create an extra field to find the URL Encoded value of a URL. Rather just do this: (1) Press F12 to expose the browser's Development Tools, (2) click on the Console and (3) enter this line of JavaScript:
escape("
https://plastidip.quickbase.com/db//db/yyyyyyy?a=showpage&pageid=78")
// output: "https%3A//plastidip.quickbase.com/db//db/yyyyyyy%3Fa%3Dshowpage%26pageid%3D78"
To URL Decode use unescape:
unescape("https%3A//plastidip.quickbase.com/db//db/yyyyyyy%3Fa%3Dshowpage%26pageid%3D78")
// output: "
https://plastidip.quickbase.com/db//db/yyyyyyy?a=showpage&pageid=78"
