Locking a link field in a column

Avatar

Level 1
Hi all, I have created a report for one of our clients. In this report, I want to show columns with the project or the task name. Problem : I don't want the client seing the project details like financial details... what he currently could do by clicking on the project or task name, as they both are links to the project or task details... I have "solved" that problem by copying these names in the description field, and then putting it the description field in a renamed column (any other that "Description"...). But that's not really a dynamic solution, as we always have to copy the project or task name in the description field... Realy not so comfortable ! And finally, the description field should normally only be used for... real comments or descriptions !! Question : is there a way to lock those links to avoid the access to the details ? Many thanks in advance for your solutions. Charles Vez NOVO

hey @Charles Vez , I think this is what you're looking for: "https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001028853-Understanding-Common-Uses-of-Text-Mode#remove-a-link" title="https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001028853-Understanding-Common-Uses-of-Text-Mode#remove-a-link">https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001028853-Understanding-Common-Uses-of-Text-Mode#... I haven't tried it out for a while, but I think it worked exactly as the instructions stated (replacing the valuefield with a valueexpression). Give it a shot? -skye

Hi Charles, here is a very simple solution to rendering text from a field without links or in-line edits: https://workfrontpro.com/2018/11/20/custom-views/#display-value-only
