Links not displaying in SharePoint List

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello,

 

I've built a canvas app using Edit Form to connect to a SharePoint List. In one column 'Description' I'd like users to be able to insert text and clickable hyperlinks. The Edit Form has automatically created a text input field whereas I think I need a Rich Text field? Eitherway I'd like the links provided by the user to be viewable in the SharePoint list so they display the full url.

 

Just to be clear the typical user would be providing multiple lines of text which sometimes would contain hyperlinks. 

 

Many thanks

    Hey Just checking have you set the sharepoint list column to enable rich text?

    As well as that ensure in the canvas app they use the rich text editor and add the links as hyperlinks e.g:

    Let me know if you have any questions on this 🙂

    @AJ_Z thanks for your help.

    I have been selecting the Rich Text option but I've been copying and pasting content containing hyperlinked text to test out the form. Maybe this is where the issue is. I'll try manually adding the links as you suggest to see if that works. Thanks again.
