REST Parameter Field and unwanted &amp

PointsWell

I have a REST API that I am testing but have come across an unwanted side effect from building up my parameters.
my API calls
api.address.com/function?API_KEY=1234567890&input_variable=somethingToCheck

When I use a computed field to compile everything after the ? it is changing the & to & in the back end. The field looks correct in the UI but AIM is reading it as HTML in the back end and my API is failing with a message:

2018-05-18 18:14:01,708 ERROR TestContactTax#admin    -Execution Exception after starting system process message  Service provider returned the following error: Execution of REST Service Validate: value of parameter string could not be resolved from object Tax and attribute CalcTaxNum

The attribute CalcTaxNum is the one that on the consoler is showing & but on the front end just &

Looks like Aware is not parsing the queryString properly.

If you're in a pinch, you might try using the & escape value of %26.
