Is there any way to include a link in the help text of a variable?

[Jason Stephens]

Anyone know how (or if) I can add a link to the help text when someone clicks 'more information'?

Tried your solution, unfortunately I cannot change the glide property. Is there another way?

FIXED:   It appears that the link is attempting to open itself in same form when using the script provided above.   Instead, use this (slightly modified) version:

<p>

       <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.google.com" target=_"blank">Click Here to go to the GOOGLE</a></p>

Hi John,

I'm assuming you deactivated the property 'glide.ui.escape_text' to get this to work in the More Information area?

I tried your example and all I see is code under More Information:

Looks like I'll have to stick to the UI macro help text until it's fixed in a release....bummer

Hey Matthew,

Why can't you change the property?   Do you have other functionality that depends on it?   Just wondering - this "fix" worked great for me.   Obviously that was a while ( and a couple of releases) back, but it seemed to work fine with no issues.

Yes, i did disable the glide.ui.escape_text to get it to work....otherwise, you get the code statement as text...

I sympathize with your inability to disable the property as i was only able to do it in our "Proof of Value" instance (pre-development).   To disable it in PROD would require a major change which will require me to fully understand the impact of disabling it.   I will be doing the research over the next week or so in preparation for us using it in PROD...
