String field does not hold hyperlink on form. May i know the use case ?

if you are looking on list view there is workaround.

Hi,

A string type field cannot hold a link(or any html)

You can create a URL field, or you can create a HTML type of field.

Link can be stored in work notes/comments, ie. journal fields.

You can do it with onload client script.

Below is the example script.

The below script assumes the name of the field is "u_url" and it has a value of "Click here".

function onLoad() {
  g_form.getControl('u_url').style.color = 'blue';  // Set text font color to blue
  g_form.getControl('u_url').style.textDecoration = "underline";  // Set text decoration to underlined
  g_form.getControl('u_url').onmouseover = mouseOver;  // Set mouseOver cursor style
  g_form.getControl('u_url').onclick = urlFunction;  // Set onclick to the redirect url
}

function mouseOver() {
  this.style.cursor = 'hand';  // Set onmouseover cursor style
}

function urlFunction() {
  window.top.location.href = 'http://www.google.com';  // This is the url that the user will be redirected to
}
