Hi All,

 

I'm looking to display a message under a new field called "AI," which has "Yes" and "No" options.

  • If the user selects "Yes," I want to display a message that includes a SharePoint link and an email address.

  • The SharePoint link should be clickable, and when the user clicks it, it should open in their browser.

  • The email address should open in Outlook (or the user's default email client) when clicked.

What I tried:

  • I added an Annotation (Info) field right below the dropdown.

  • I included HTML like <a href="...">, but it's displayed as plain text and not clickable.

My question:

  • Is it possible to make HTML clickable links (URL and email) within an Annotation field?

  • If not, what's the best way to show a static message with clickable links below a specific field.Kindly suggest to achieve this. Thanks in advance!

Hi @CDJ 

yes you can have HTML in Annotations. I just came across this kind of annotation at table sys_outbound_http_log

Although the annotation is of type "HTML" it does not contain the HTML text directly but a key name for table sys_ui_message:

At table sys_ui_message search for the key and you will find the HTML content:

Hi @Maik Skoddow ,

 

Thanks for your input.

 

The requirements have recently been updated. I now need to configure the Annotation message based on both the change type and the dropdown field selection.

  1. If the "AI" field is set to "Yes" and the change type is Standard, the message should be populated as: "Example: Test 1 - Link and Email ID."

  2. If the "AI" field is set to "Yes" and the change type is Normal, the message should be populated as: "Example: Test 2 - Link and Email ID."However, I am currently able to set only one annotation at a time, not two. I’m working on configuring this, but I would appreciate any suggestions you may have on how to set both annotations based on Change type.
    Thanks in advance!
