amp-analytics[type=googleanalytics] encoding

To whom it may concern:

I use amp-analytics[type=googleanalytics] to send GA beacon and I have some chinese text content filled in custom dimension.

such as the following sample code:

<amp-analytics type="googleanalytics">
    <script type="application/json">
        "vars": {
            "account": "UA-74300583-2",
            "documentGroup": "itemPage",
            "merchandiseId": "100347591196",
            "level1Id": "1234567890-1",
            "level2Id": "1234567890-2",
            "level3Id": "1234567890-3",
            "level4Id": "1234567890-4",
            "level5Id": "1234567890-5",
            "level6Id": "1234567890-6",
            "level1Name": "中文分類測試-1",
            "level2Name": "中文分類測試-2",
            "level3Name": "中文分類測試-3",
            "level4Name": "中文分類測試-4",
            "level5Name": "中文分類測試-5",
            "level6Name": "中文分類測試-6"
        },
        "extraUrlParams": {
            "cg1": "${documentGroup}",
            "cd1": "${level1Id}",
            "cd2": "${level2Id}",
            "cd3": "${level3Id}",
            "cd4": "${level4Id}",
            "cd5": "${level5Id}",
            "cd6": "${level6Id}",
            "cd7": "${level1Name}",
            "cd8": "${level2Name}",
            "cd9": "${level3Name}",
            "cd10": "${level4Name}",
            "cd11": "${level5Name}",
            "cd12": "${level6Name}",
            "cd13": "${merchandiseId}"
        },
        "triggers": {
            "pageview": {
                "on": "visible",
                "request": "pageview"
            }
        }
    </script>
</amp-analytics>

Notice the level1Name ~ level6Name, these are chinese content. I check the beacon content when page refresh and I found the parameter cd7 ~ cd12 will encode the content. So Google Analytics report will collect the encoded data and hard to recognize.

You can also click the following link to check it. Demo page

Have a nice day.

This will go to canary release next week, where you can test by opt-in canary. One week after that, it will hit prod.

hi, @lannka:

I chceked my GA report and found this double encoding issue happen again. Looks like code had been rollback.

Could you reopen this issue or should I need to apply a new issue for this ?

Have a nice day.
