Get hyperlink display text in SP list

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 3

Just starting out in flow and falling at the first fence...

I have a list in Sharepoint Online.

I want to update the title column with the display text in a hyperlink field

I've built a 'When existing item is modified' trigger that catches a change and added an 'Update item' to udate the field.

It almost works... The title is updating nicely.

But I can only see how to use the default value of the hyperlink (The URL) when what I need is the display text

I suspect that I need to use an expression to get at a property of the hyperlink object, but I'm not finding the docs to be of much value

 

I have the same question (0)

    Hi @PSW ,

     

    Please try to do this to get the text of the hyperlink.

    For example, list2 has a field of type hyperlink.

    Expression reference:

    body('Send_an_HTTP_request_to_SharePoint')['d']['ColumnName']['Description']

    Image reference:

    Hope it helps.
