My first question :)
I can query a field called “SA Veg: Fynbos Types”:
https://www.inaturalist.org/observation_fields/7867
By name:
https://api.inaturalist.org/v1/observations?&project_id=21467&place_id=6986&photos=true&page=1&per_page=20&field:SA+Veg:+Fynbos+Types
but a field called “SA Veg: Albany Thicket & Strandveld Types”
https://www.inaturalist.org/observation_fields/7863
By name:
https://api.inaturalist.org/v1/observations?&project_id=21467&place_id=6986&photos=true&page=1&per_page=20&field:SA+Veg:+Albany+Thicket+&+Strandveld+Type
dont return anything.
I suspect it is about escaping the “&”, which I tried but without luck.

https://api.inaturalist.org/v1/observations?&project_id=21467&place_id=6986&photos=true&page=1&per_page=20&field:SA+Veg:+Albany+Thicket+%26+Strandveld+Type
What is the correct escape character to use? (If it is possible)
Alternatively, is there a way to use the field id rather, something like:
(Note these 3 examples does return values, because my attempted query parameter does not exists aand is ignored)

https://api.inaturalist.org/v1/observations?&project_id=21467&place_id=6986&photos=true&page=1&per_page=20&fieldid:7863
https://api.inaturalist.org/v1/observations?&project_id=21467&place_id=6986&photos=true&page=1&per_page=20&field_id:7863
When I look at:
https://api.inaturalist.org/v1/docs/#!/Observations/get_observations
I see the “ofv_datatype” parameter - but that does not work with either teh field name or id
