[JENKINS-37428] parameterized plugin getting replaced by a white space

I have a parameterized build (copied from an existing job) in jenkins. While building, my parameter is getting replaced by a white space. Here I am sharing what I have.

Parameter Name: "BuildDate" (I tried using %% and ${} but no luck)

Windows batch command:

copy \Network_drive\dir1\dir2\dir3%BuildDate%\filename*.zip .

Output from jenkins console:

c:\jenkins\workspace\my_build_job_name>copy

Shared_Network_drive\dir1\dir2\dir3\ \filename.zip .

Shared_Network_drive\dir1\dir2\dir3\ \filename.zip The system cannot find the path specified. 0 file(s) copied.

c:\jenkins\workspace\my_build_job_name>exit 1 Build step 'Execute Windows batch command' marked build as failure Notifying upstream projects of job completion Finished: FAILURE

Any help? Thanks
