ReportHello All,
I'm trying to open third party software via a new tab from BC webinterface, this via an action which led me to use the "HYPERLINK(url)" method.
However this method throws me an "Link address is not valid." error. As stated on the above mentioned hyperlink documentation, the syntax must be valid.
When I copy/paste my hyperlink in a browers tab, it works as intended. It opens third party software fine without errors.
When I put the url in a field on a page, with extended datatype URL, it allows interaction and opens fine without errors.
This leads me to think that the url-validation of the hyperlink procedure is not working as intended.
Since the Hyperlink procedure allows "Mailto://" and "file://" usage without flaw, I fail to understand why it would consider my hyperlink invalid
Hyperlink: thirdPartySoftware://open:fileid+%3d+ffffffeb-ffff-ffff-3184-d7430f4b3e52
Our system is running BC version 18
If anyone has encountered a similar problem, can tell me where the Hyperlink procedure code is located or has alternative ideas, that'd be greatly appreciated
With kind regards
Tim
Edit:
To solve this issue, we currently put the hyperlink in a field on the page, with extension type URL. It doesn't look as nice but gets the job done as intended.
