Keeping hyperlink alternative text while formatting the column using JSON

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

While I simply format the column to be displayed in colors like this (Photo 1), the field using multi-line of text (enhanced rich text hyperlinks...) format cannot keep the alternative text for hyperlinks (column 3 in photo 1). Here is the JSON code I found for that column (photo 2).

Can anyone guide me to keep the column in color while still displaying normal text?

Sorry @Anonymous i don’t think you’re going to get what you want. You’re asking for something that MS states is unsupported https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/declarative-customization/column-formatting#supported-column-types

the best way is to use plain text Multiline fields and let JSON do all the formatting. Otherwise you’ll have to do some sorcery and use JSON and Expressions that remove, split, and concate the values in a way that you can have a standard <a href> style hyperlink

Re: Keeping hyperlink alternative text while formatting the column using JSON

This request needs to know if there is a way to have JSON formatting not display the HTML coded content when used on a Multiline Text field configured to use enhanced text. Multiline text fields that allow rich text or html are always tricky because it works great in native Sharepoint, but everything else outputs all the code.
