Hi DHIS2 devs, I faced an issue recently with using (unencoded) square brackets in requests to the DHIS2 API. It turns out it was related to a new version of tomcat (7.0.90). I've spoken to the tomcat devs and they've said that they will now consider unencoded square brackets in a request to be an error.
According to the docs: https://docs.dhis2.org/master/en/developer/html/webapi_metadata_field_filter.html square brackets are used to indicate a subfield, when using the field query parameter. Might it be worth considering changing the symbol used for this? At the very least it should be made clear that the requests using it will need to be URL encoded. There are even requests in the DHIS2 frontend (I'm running v2.27) which have unencoded square brackets. The approvals page in the report view fails with the new version of tomcat for this reason. It would be worth ensuring all frontend requests are properly encoded.
