PowerApps Form to SharePoint List – Hyperlink column type – Add ‘Alternative Text’ Field to Form

(1) Share

Posted on by SG1990

I am creating a powerapps form to connect to a Sharepoint list and one of my columns on the list is a ‘hyperlink’ type column.

Hyperlink type columns have an optional two fields, namely ‘Enter a URL’ and ‘Alternative text’.

On my powerapps form it is straight forward to link this to the ‘Enter a URL’ field, however I want my form to also allow me to enter ‘Alternative text’. Does any know how you can do this?

I'm looking for the same thing. Can you hear the crickets?

Hi SG1990.
There's two ways that I know.
Warren suggests simply using the Title field as the alternate text so you can see both in PowerApps.
I also have a flow that works:

I ended up using method 1. Simpler and more 'pragmatic'. Besides. Once I got the flow working, in the app I saw Title and the link with the same name, kind've redundant right? That's fine, but if you also would like to see the URL at the same time under the Title field, method 1 really is the best solution.

Also, if you use the flow method then you'll likely have to create a toggle flow to turn off and on the flow since msft turns them off after 90 days of not being used and will really through you for a loop (pardon the pun) because by then you'd likely have forgotten what you did in the first place. That's dumb.

Hope this helps.
