Convert Field Input to Hyperlink

[Mikaela-Newell]

Hi all!

At the project level, we have a custom form field for a Dropbox link. I need that link visible in my program-level view, but the links are so long that they make every line awkwardly tall (not a huge deal but it's annoying lol). I have two ideas, but I can't figure out how to execute either:

1. Conditional formatting where if the field is not blank, then it displays the text "Dropbox Link" (or even just an icon/button) with the inputted URL as a hyperlink
2. Just having it display the beginning of the link followed by "..." rather than the full URL

Would prefer the first option, but will happily accept either! Hope I'm not missing something horribly obvious. Thanks in advance!!

Mikaela,  one of our Advisors, Rafal, had a recent post on this and should help you solution the issue, https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/workfront-questions/custom-task-field-that-is-a-url...

Hi Kurt, I had a little trouble applying it to my issue at first but I got there haha. Thank you!

Here's the solution for anyone curious (the URL from the custom field is named "Dropbox link"):

displayname=Dropbox
link.url=customDataLabelsAsString(Dropbox link)
valueexpression=IF(ISBLANK({DE:Dropbox link}),"","Link")
valueformat=HTML
