Has anyone had success creating a field to display as a functional external link?
We have a field called "CareerSnapshot" on the Job business class. This field contains many different URLs mapped to an employee Job as Alpha type. The field values are URLS to specific SharePoint pages on a company intranet page. We want the field to display as a hyperlink on a form that the user can simply click and navigate to.
We've tried setting the field as URL type which just returned the URL as text on the form.
We also tried creating a derived field to return the CareerSnapshot field and putting a button on the form that referenced the derived field and setting the button to display as link. This did everything we wanted except making the link functional. (Image below)
I know we can create a richtext field type and use a combination of IF/THEN logic and html to return a functional link, but would prefer a cleaner/easier method to display the field as a link for the purposes of maintenance, e.g.. if a new job is created someone would need to edit the derived field to include logic for the new job, instead of just pasting the URL value into the job form when it's created.
