How can I make a url variable clickable?

[Digit]

Business Need:

I want a user to create a catalog request, and on one of the fields on the request  they are to enter a url. Then, once the request has been submitted, the url that they entered will be clickable on the request and in list view.

I have created a url variable 'Ticket Link' on the form. I assumed using that variable type would automatically make the url clickable later, but it does not. I am having trouble discovering a way to make it into a clickable link. I have pored over the community posts, and have not found a good way to do this yet. I see many posts about adding a static link, but not making a user-input url clickable.

All assistance would be greatly appreciated, as I am fairly new to SN development.

My variables are clickable with just a URL field. This is all I did and it works just fine.

I am using a url variable, not a field. url fields are clickable, but the variables are not.

OOB, for variables, it is not possible

There are few links which uses a Macro. But not sure if that will be helpful incase you are using Service Portal

Thanks Sanjiv,

I found that link and tried the solution, but it didn't work. I was able to create a clickable link, but it rendered all popups, like search and date pickers on the form unusable. I tried to troubleshoot the issue, but was not able to get it to work without breaking the popups.
