Hi @Lavanya Nagendr,

You can try to use a calculation type of field and add a dictionary no_truncate:

Display value for URL in List View / Report

Or simply use a URL type of field:

URL Field

Hi,

I have a requirement to make a string field as a link in the List view --> the only way this may work is if you use a URL field, you cant achieve this in any other field unless its a reference field to another record withing servicenow.
