Can I hide link in text field?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello everyone,

 

I have a custom entity Documents, in which we store the details of the files uploaded to azureblob.

 

We are creating record in Documents entity using Javascript when the user clicks on the submit button in html webresource. 

 

In Documents entity we have a field called File name, which is a single line of text, and it stores file name.

 

When i upload the file to blob, we are generating a link to open the file.

 

My question is, can I hide the link generated in File name field while creating record using javascript?

If the user clicks on Filename field in the views, the file should open in the new window. 

 

It should look like below in views and subgrids

here, if i click on name field, it will open the record. Similarly can store link in Filename field and it will open the file when i click on it. 

 Is it possible? 

 

And can i also add file type icons to this Filename field while creating records in javascript? 

Which may have to look like below screenshot

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    Have you reviewed the following to look at adding the custom icons?  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customerengagement/on-premises/customize/display-custom-icons-instead?view=op-9-1

     

    I would actually use this same model to add the link to open the file from this icon as well if that would work vs. trying to modify the Name hyperlink as this is inherent to the system.  This way if the user clicks on the file icon you could have it open the file in another window.

     

    Hope this helps.  Please accept if answers your question or Like if helps in some way.


    Thanks,

    @dpoggemann, Thank you for reply.

     

    Is it possible with subgrid also?

    I have gone throught some of questions in community around this. Its stated that subgrid icons appear sporadically.

    Is this issue still there?

    @dpoggemann Thank you.

    There is no issue with subgrid. Icons are visible perfectly on subgrids.
