I have an add to row action and need a dynamic link for the notify column to be added to the table

It's currently like this:

<@{outputs('ahref')}="https://@{outputs('Environment_URL')}/main.aspx?appid=@{outputs('AppId')}&pagetype=entityrecord&etn=cr4c1_intakeform&id=@{triggerOutputs()?['body/cr4c1_intakeformid']}">New Project Submission</a>

and shows in the outputs and table as exactly that:

I tried a compose action with this:

replace(replace(replace(outputs('HTML_Link'),'<a href="','<a href="'),'">','">'),'</a>','</a>')

but it didn't do anything in this scenario.

Does anyone know how to show only the text New Project Submission while still being a clickable link?

I use this expression for something else that is similar to your problem. If you adapt your expression to the following by replacing body('Create_HTML_table') with your outputs('HTML... dynamic content it may work:

replace(replace(replace(body('Create_HTML_table'),'<','<'),'>','>'),'"','"')

Sorry to hear that. Question, is what you are trying to do for a SharePoint list where you want a friendly name to appear instead of the URL. If so, you can use JSON formatting on the field in SharePoint. Use the following:

{ "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json", "elmType": "a", "txtContent": "\u200B Open Link", "attributes": { "iconName": "OpenInNewTab", "class": "ms-fontColor-themeDark", "href": "=@currentField", "target": "_blank" }, "style": { "font-size": "12px", "text-decoration": "none", "font-weight": "normal", "margin-left": "6px" } }

The limitation with this is that all of the links will say "Open Link" rather than being unique. Once I figured this out, I wrote this down and saved it. I cannot remember how I figured how to add the icon in front of the link name. I think I did this by pressing the Windows and period key to open the icon window and selected one.
