Description -

  • Right now when you want to add a hyperlink in the workfront you need to highlight the text and then click the link button instead of being able to use command K to hyperlink or links automatically are created like every other site including this forum for example.

Why is this feature important to you -

  • For multiple fields across hundreds to thousands of projects when links are needed this results in a lot of additional time needed to enter links within a workfront project.
  • For teams migrating to Workfront from other platforms, this is often a major pain-point and feels like something that would be easy to enable.

How would you like the feature to work -

  • When in a formatted text field, you should be able to highlight a section of text and then use the command + k shortcut to hyperlink
    • You could even use the same functionality that exists right here in the forum!!!
  • When in a formatted text field, you should be able to enter a link and have it automatically create a hyperlink when you hit enter or space after the link
    • You could even use the same functionality that exists right here in the forum!!! (try copy and pasting the URL of this ticket into a reply if you would like to see the the functionality I'm referencing)

Current Behaviour -

  • You need to highlight the text, find the link button, enter the link again, and hit enter. This is a lot of clicks, especially when a link could even possibly just automatically create a link when pasted in a formatted text field
