Short description is of string and will not contain hyperlink in it.

You have to create UI macro for adding link in form.

The Kind of functionality you are looking for does not seem to be possible in Short Description field as its of type string. You have to create a field type of HTML which you can then populate using your client script. You can use anchor / uri tags in that html field type.

If you just need to store a clickable URL then you can create field of type URL

Hi Swarna,

You can create this link via UI Page type variable and then manipulate it via Client script. Take a look :

You could try the UI Page solution. It works really fine for me. Here is the process :

Make a UI Page (according to your requirements) with the following code in the HTML scripting section :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

<h5>

$[SP]$[SP]$[SP]User has selected walk in$[SP]

$[SP]$[SP]

<a href="https://link to your profile" target="_blank">$[SP]Swarna</a>

</h5>

</j:jelly>

2. Make a variable in the form of Type = 'UI Page'

3. While making the variable you will see a field named 'UI page'. Select the name of the above UI Page you have just made.

Now you are able to see the link on the form with your desired requirement.

Let me know if you need further assisstance.

Thanks,

Arnab.
