How to generate the link ??

[KM SN]

The below code not producing the link instead it is pasting as it is in the url. Let me have your thoughts on it if possible?

var sysId = fd_data.trigger.current.sys_id;

var url = "Click the following to view the Change record " + '<a href="' + gs.getProperty('instance_name') + '/nav_to.do?uri=' + 'change_request' + '.do?sys_id=' + sysId + '">' ';

return '[code]' +  url + ['/code'];

Hi @KM SN , 

Use fd_data.trigger:

• When working with Flow Designer, the fd_data.trigger object holds the information related to the event that triggered the flow.
• This is particularly useful when you want to access specific data or variables that were passed into the flow at the time it was triggered.

• Access Current Variables:

  • To access the current variables in the flow, you use the context provided by fd_data.trigger. This allows you to interact with the data that triggered the flow, such as records or specific field values

var baseUrl = gs.getProperty('glide.servlet.uri');

/* The sys_id for the record you want to link to */
var sysid=fd_data.trigger.current.sys_id;

/* Construct the URL to the specific record */
var link = baseUrl + 'nav_to.do?uri=change_request.do?sys_id=' + sysid;

/* Output the constructed link */
return '<a href="'+link+'">'+fd_data.trigger.current.number+'</a>' ;

Mark as Helpful if is works

I think there are couple of issues in your code - 

Try this :

var sysId = fd_data.trigger.current.sys_id;

var url = 'Click the following to view the Change record: <a href="' + gs.getProperty('instance_name') + '/nav_to.do?uri=change_request.do?sys_id=' + sysId + '">Click here</a>';

return '[code]' + url + '[/code]';

Try this:

var sysId = fd_data.trigger.current.sys_id;
var instanceUrl = gs.getProperty('glide.servlet.uri');
var url = instanceUrl + 'nav_to.do?uri=change_request.do?sys_id=' + sysId;
var clickableLink = 'Click the following to view the Change record: [' + url + '](' + url + ')';

return clickableLink;

@Mark Manders  Thanks for reply , BTW its generating two links side by side. Anyhow its showing the total URL.

can't we embed the hyper link to the change request number instead of actual URL. It is the target I am trying for... if you guide on it... that would be so helpful.

var sysId = fd_data.trigger.current.sys_id;
var number = fd_data.trigger.current.number; // assuming this is the record with the change number
var instanceUrl  = gs.getProperty('glide.servlet.uri');
var url = instanceUrl + 'nav_to.do?uri=change_request.do?sys_id=' + sys_id;
var clickableNumber = <a href="' + url + '"> + number + '</a>;

return clickableNumber;
