We have documented this issue where the & symbol is showing as "&" in an embed block in Rise. I'm sorry if this issue is slowing you down. We'll be sure to update you here if we make changes that will help. Thanks so much for your patience!
Hi - FYI, this happens using the "button" block, which is clearly intended to create links. So, this issue with links containing "&" in this block is a problem.
This is a bug, not a feature. Would really love if y'all would prioritize fixing this.
I am experiencing the same problem when trying to use a button. The email address includes an & and Rise is changing it to & which invalidates the email address. Please fix this bug!

Hi Adam! I understand that you are using the Multimedia>Embed link to embed a URL but the URL gets changed and becomes invalid.
I am getting an error when accessing the first link you shared. Does it require a login? Can you try using an iFrame to embed it?
<iframe src="https://yoururl.com" </iframe>
Let me know if this works!
I would like to revive this, since Articulate is still doing this:
<iframe src="https://asu.questionpro.com/cc-eoc-survey?p=planet&ct=test" height="720" width="100%"></iframe>
When inserted via embed becomes:
<iframe src="https://asu.questionpro.com/cc-eoc-survey?p=planet&ct=test" height="720" width="100%"></iframe>
Why would Articulate edit the URL? and ONLY the & used for passing variables?

Hi Lea -- thank you for the update. However, this issue has been on-going since 2017, so what are the chances it will be fixed? Is it on the roadmap?
Hi Stuart!
Unfortunately, it’s not currently on our feature roadmap. We’ll keep this thread posted if there are further updates on this feature.

This appears to work with emails, but not iframe urls. Replace the & with %26
