Hello,

I’m trying to link projects from different gateways using retarget function. Starting gateway is 7.9.10., target - 7.7.10.

On first attempt I got error 400. After google suggested to use URL-encoded characters I replaced all spaces in project name in retarget() with “%20”. Now I’m getting this:

It works fine for projects that don’t have spaces in their names.

Is there a work around or I have to rename?

Thank you,  
Peter.

Project _names_ cannot contain spaces - you’re probably passing the project _title_ - check the name used on Configure → Projects on the gateway web interface:

That was it, thanks @paul-griffith ! Shame to me for not figuring this out 😬
