Hi Puli,

 

 

The in URIs is an anchor tag. It's used to tell the browser where in an HTML document to focus the page. HTTP user agents shouldn't send the anchor tag in the HTTP request line. So HTTP::uri shouldn't show the anchor. If you want to logically remove the anchor from URIs for datagroup lookups, you could use getfield to split the path on and take the first field:
