Powerapps, hyperlinks and plaintext

Posted on by Lee123

I've got a multiline sharepoint column that I'm trying to interact with in powerapps that is intended to hold hyperlinks. As I discovered, the basic datakeyvalue text controls display all this html rubbish when hyperlinks are entered. I know I can use a rich text editor instead but I hate the lack of easy control you have on that.

I found a partial solution in changing the default display on the datakeyvalue to Plaintext(Parent.Default)

but that strips out the colon in https://etc as well, breaking the hyperlink.

Any ideas?

Hi @Lee123 ,

Could you tell me:
Could you provide sample text in your multi-line text column?
Do you want to extract the text in the html tag without breaking the hyperlink?

You could try the formula on HtmlText property of Html Text control.
"<a href=""https://www.google.com"">Google<a/> <p>We've done an unusually "deep" globalization and localization.<p> "

Is there why you couldn't place the hyperlink in a separate field, and use the Hyperlink data type for that field?
