Show Link/URL in List with Display Value

Hi

We like to insert a link to a Catalog Item in a "regular" list.

I know there is a field type "URL" and another type "HTML".

Unfortunately, the HTML field type only works fine on the form itself and the URL field type does not allow setting an display value.

How is it possible?

btw: the values are calculated:

Hi Marc,



HTML fields do not render on lists, as it could contain bad HTML and seriously impact the page view. Best practices are to not display HTML fields on lists.

Hi Chuck,



Is there any chance to modify the URL-typed field? I found this article, but only works on forms: Trying to add display text to a URL field type


Showing a nice link to our customers would be much better than displaying a long annoying url...



Thanks Marc
