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.

    I was able to attach a link in Planner today with no issues.  The link worked!  Thanks for fixing this MS!!  Hopefully everyone else is getting the fix as well.

    It seems that Microsoft has resolved this issue. We had a user who was having trouble linking OneNote pages to tasks (just like us) and as of today morning we are able to add links with "&" in them.

    Nope. It wasn't the & that was the problem, but possibly multiple & symbols, plus curly braces, etc.

    Anyway, I tried today and just got the Invalid URL error in Planner with a OneNote link, so either it isn't fixed, or it is staged and you have it and our tenant doesn't yet. I hope it is the latter.
