Launch URL by clicking on field

I have set a launch function that opens a document library for particular item but i have an issue that launch function on action "On select" works only if datacard is in real edit mode when i press edit all on form when it opens.

on datacard value i have this formula(on select)

Launch(ThisItem.URL). this URL is updated with flow when item is created

On datacard i set the folowing:

If(SharePointForm1.Mode=FormMode.New,DisplayMode.View,DisplayMode.Edit)

My goal is when users recieve info in email with a link to sharepoint item they open this item and in the field that i set launch function they open this document library. Now i can not open this document library without pressing edit and so the datacard gets into real edit mode

What i am doing wrong?

It sounds like your button is following the DisplayMode of the form. Can you change the DisplayMode of the button to the following code (instead of the DataCard)? My thought is this will make the button's display mode independent of the form.

DisplayMode.Edit

The same idea will apply here. Change the DisplayMode of the label to DisplayMode.Edit and it will still be clickable even when the form is in view mode.

Another idea is to put a transparent label field directly over top of the Text Input and put the OnSelect code there instead. You could make the transparent label appear only when the form is in ViewMode to prevent launching a website while in EditMode.

Hi @mdevaney

I tried now all it does not work like that. My all datacard, datacardvalue and datacardkey is set to displaymode.edit.
I put on all of them on lauch function
I removed the formulas to check if the form is in new mode or view mode.
I still need to press edit all to get the link clickable.

Have you tried the transparent label idea too? This could help you avoid the problem entirely.

Hi @mdevaney
I just tried your idea of putting on top a label and i put launch code on select as well.
it is also same. it does not work untill i press edit all button on the form itself. The label is on edit display mode
Something is tricky here but i do not believe i can not achieve my wish

What if you place the transparent label outside of the form (from a controls relationship perspective) but still place its XY location directly on top of where the Text Input is?

@mdevaney

Then i can not execute ThisItem function. it looses relationship
maybe you can try to reproduce this approach in your environment. I still think i am doing something wrong

Instead of referencing ThisItem in the transparent label wouldn't it be possible to directly point to the Text Input instead?

Launch(DataCardValue15.Text)
