Hash variables ending up in campaign reports

Support & Bugs
1

Hi,

We have an issue with the campaign tracking including values after the pound sign in the variable value.

For example, we have campaigns running that end up with values like this:

utm_content=sc_628zj1mpb3#ml_adobe_beacon=4e93bc92aad05323-057c2de1fe0a4640

I would expect that Matomo would store the value of the utm_content parameter as sc_628zj1mpb3, but it’s getting stored as “sc_628zj1mpb3#ml_adobe_beacon=4e93bc92aad05323-057c2de1fe0a4640”.

This is creating too many variables making reporting by campaign variables impossible. Is this a bug? Has anyone else experienced this?

Each user gets a different value for ml_adobe_beacon so it escalates quickly.

Thanks!
