Catalog Item widget check box with hyperlink

[Dead Blade]

This is a followup to https://community.servicenow.com/community?id=community_question&sys_id=76c2f09edb28d410414eeeb5ca96...

I have added a Macro with Label to a catalog item and using a widget for the URL Link.  The widget creates the checkbox.  How to I script and capture the widget checkbox as "true" in the workflow If activity?

Currently capturing the Macro with Label variable in the IF activity not working.

  answer = ifScript();

  function ifScript() {
    if (current.variables.var_name == 'true') {
        return 'yes';
     }
     return 'no';
  }

Example of widget from other post:

<div>
<input type="checkbox">Your Text <a href="www.google.com">To Do & not To Do</a><br>
</div>

Hello @Dead Blade 

If your issue is you want a checkbox variable's label as a link, then why you are going through the complex way, simply use the below way

As you can see, I created a checkbox variable, which's the label is "LINK", so by clicking on that you can redirect to the specified link.

UI MAcro is complex, difficult to manage and understand, and bulky to implement in the system.

If you are interested in the solution, then implement it as below

And then go to sys_properties.list>>find a property "glide.ui.escape_text" ,it is tru by defualt so mark it as false.

You requirement will get fulfill

Please Mark it helpful/correct if my answer helps in any way to resolve your query.

Thanks all, I will go back to my original plan and use the checkbox variable and add a separate variable to display the URL LINK.
