Remove Hyperlinks from Lookups fields

Posted on 2 May 2023 16:08:44 by 86

Hello,

 

Within a Model Driven app, is there a way of removing/disabling the hyperlink on a lookup field, and therefore the ability for the user to select the item in a lookup field on a form, that has already been chosen?

 

Once an item is chosen in a lookup field (on a form), I would like it to simply display the value without the hyperlink, so the user cannot click on it and be taken to the related record. In the attached example, I want the user to be able to use the lookup to choose 'Drawing', but not then be able to click on 'Drawing', once it is chosen. I still want them to be able to remove 'Drawing' and chose another, so read only would not be relevant.

 

Is this possible?

 

Thanks

    I was planning on trying to use the addOnLookupTagClick functionality to essentially set it to a "do nothing" function.

    I am using Model Driven Apps and I agree that it would be very helpful for the Lookup View that powers the PowerApp Search Box control to be able to remove the Hyperlink from the Lookup Value. Links encourage people to click, and it just takes them to a Lookup Table. Hopefully this will be added in the future. 

    Another option is to go with a PCF Dropdown Control for the Lookup rather than the default PowerApp Search Box. A few are listed here - https://pcf.gallery/categories#dropdown

    Hi @jase ,

     

    Please take a look at this blog.

    This is a method that is not supported by Microsoft.
