Show a column in a view with a clickable label for a URL

[bskard]

I have read around on the forum, but have been unable to find a solution that works.

I have a custom field: "GE - Frame.io URL" that is attached to a custom form on my projects.

In my projects view, I want to display the URL with a label (Go to Frame.io), but whatever I try it is not clickable.

Here's my code (that I borrowed from here😞

displayname=link
link.url=customDataLabelsAsString(GE - Frame.io URL)
valueexpression=IF(ISBLANK({DE:GE - Frame.io URL}),"","Go To Frame")
valueformat=HTML

Any tips?

Hi

That code is correct and works in my instance.

Is the custom field you have setup a single line or paragraph text field? If you are using a formatted text field to store the URL you will likely find that this wont work.

Other things to check are:

• Is the URL definitley correct
• Are there any special/hidden characters in the text mode you have copied

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Rich.

This is an old thread, but I have a question. I'm attempting to do something similar with a calculated field which concatenates a URL. The code above doesn't work for this, but it has worked with a field which is a single line text field. 

Assuming/guessing that calculated fields don't allow for this?

displayname=link
link.url=customDataLabelsAsString({DE:GE - Frame.io URL})
valueexpression=IF(ISBLANK({DE:GE - Frame.io URL}),"","Go To Frame")
valueformat=HTML
textmode=true

Give this a try. Hope this helps.

Still does not work unfortunately.

I get:

As pr. @Richard_Le_ comments, I double-checked the custom field settings:

All seems okay (also checked the HTML code, there's no <a>). Maybe there's some limitation on my instance?

Hello bskard,

Did you find any solution for this?

Unfortunately all I have tried does also not work on our instance...

May I ask on which cluster your instance is running? (Setup -> System -> Customer Info)

Thanks in advance.

Lars
