Hi @AshishKM , There is a portal widget which has html, server script and client callable and one of these is fetching the value of system property and then it is being displayed to the UI. System property has a sentence as a value in which there is a link. I want to render the system property value as HTML which I am not able to do right now

Hi @spimple ,

 

Description

How to add hyperlinks to string fields?

Resolution

This can be done in 3 ways:
1. You can change the field to a URL field.
2. You can change it to an HTML field and add the link using the insert/edit link button.
3. You can do a customization. I found a few community articles on how other people did this. This is not supported by ServiceNow support.
