How to convert values in a string field to clickable link?

[Kevin Smith2]

Hi,

We have a string field (description) on certain conditions, we are populating the description field with clickable LINK via BR.

The link is getting populated in plain text.

How can we make the text clickable?

Here is my script:

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/ ) {

    var deepLinkGenerator = new global.MobileDeepLinkGenerator("agent");
    var link = deepLinkGenerator.getFormScreenLink("472ceb7253b0330097a2ddeeff7b12f6", current.getTableName(), current.getValue("sys_id"));
    current.setValue('description', link);
    current.update();

})(current, previous);

Thanks

Kevin

You can change the string type field to URL or HTML type field.

String and multiline text fields will show it as plain text only.

Hi,

description is string field so it won't show the anchor tag with link

Adding clickable link only works with journal fields such as work_notes and comments.

like this for work notes

var url = '<a href="' + gs.getProperty('glide.servlet.uri') + '/nav_to.do?uri=' + current.getTableName() + '.do?sys_id=' + current.sys_id + '">' + current.getDisplayValue() + '</a>';

current.work_notes = '[code]' + url + '[/code]';

Hi,

you can only add clickable link to journal fields.

Your description is string field so you cannot
