Hello everyone,

I have a list whose name is "SOX - PO without PR (YPONR) Tasks". I am trying to create a task within this list using Send an HTTP Request to SharePoint action as I have few hyperlinks to populate. I am confused how to specify the name of the list in the body of the action

__metadata": { "type": "ListNameListItem" }

I know spaces can be replaced with _x0020_ but not sure of special characters like "-" (hyphen), "(" and ")". How do I encode these here and what should they be replaced with? I couldn't find any documentation regarding this. We don't want to change the list name.

I have the same question (0)
