Posted on by RL-16052013-0

Hello,

I have a form with an application number as one of the populated fields. I need to create and display a dynamic hyperlink to an external site appending to the URL the application number. Is there a method to do this using out-of-box method(s)? For example, https:thisisthewebsite.com/applicationnumber=[applicationnumber] The form is a read-only form and data is populated via an integration. When the user opens the record, data should already be pre-populated on the form.

Thanks,

Rosana

Hi Rosana,

in my opinion you have two options:

1) create an additional field to store the combination of your fixed url and the application number, this should be possible with a Dataverse formula column, more details here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/data-platform/formula-columns but I don't know if a Formula column can be shown as clickable url (meaning you will see the value but maybe you can't click on it)

2) use a PCF control to display the url, 5 years ago I created this one https://pcf.gallery/custom-url-control/ but to be honest I don't know if these days still work and when I created it Dataverse formula columns were not available as today.

Hope it helps

Thanks, Guido. I ended up creating a text field that has datatype URL. Then created a workflow to append the URL and account number. It it comes up again, I'd try the PCF - new to CRM here.
