Planner Task Link Attachment To OneNote Page 'Invalid'

Good Morning,

Has anyone experienced an issue with the Task Attachment Links to OneNote becoming 'invalid urls'?  I have several Teams that have Planners and OneNote notebooks.  I typically have added a link on individual tasks to individual pages in the OneNote notebook for the Team/Planner group.  A few days ago, I noticed these links were still taking me to the OneNote notebook but not to the page...they were taking me to the first section first page only.

When editing the link anything to a page is considered an invalid url now.

Thanks

Hi All,

Thanks for all your feedback! We have involved more resources to check this issue and will share the updates once available. Here I would like to provide a summary so that other community members can easily identify the symptoms.

Symptoms:

When we go to Planner task > add attachment > Link > Add the link, we will get error message “Please enter a valid url” if the link including symbols like & ! ^ * “”

Assessment:

More resources have been involved to check this issue. We will post back when there is any update.

Thanks again for all your feedback to help us improve our services and products.

Update 

A fix will be coming out soon in future releases.

    From what I tested, getting rid of the portion stated above does not fix it either. It is impossible to create a link to a OneNote page in a task.

    SO frustrating.

    DIa, I promise if you clean the URL up right, which is a colossal hassle, you will be able to put the URL in and link.

    Here is what OneNote generates by default:'

    https://sitename.sharepoint.com/sites/company/\_layouts/OneNote.aspx?id=%2Fsites%2Fstuff%...8-8740-C424146484CB%2F%29

    onenote:https://sitename.sharepoint.com/sites/company/Shared%20Documents/Documentation/Company%20Documentation/.....8740-C424146484CB}&end

    I truncated the URLs for readability, but you'd get those two very VERY long URLs in Notepad.

    Delete the 2nd one entirely that starts onenote:https, then make sure you have no carriage return after the first URL. Paste that https:// url into Planner and it will work.

    Any Update???

    We cannot ask to C-level Business users to open NotePad to cut the link.
