i have multiple links in a multiple lines of text field. these links point to different areas in SharePoint. But every time i click on the link through a html text control it navigates to a different link stripping off the site address and replacing it with "https://content.powerapps.com/sites" Anyone know a workaround to get these links to work?
Hi @Gottijay1999 ,
Assign the value to a label and see what is coming with the multiline filed value and ensure that the href is pointing correctly. If possible please share with me a screenshot of the text coming on the label to help you better.
Note: Multiline filed in SharePoint must work best with HTML control.

@KrishnaV Apologies for the late response. Please find the html value below. i am using a html control and external links work fine, the problem is internal links don't because powerapps seems to truncate the href property of the link
class="ExternalClassB607DF1C6FCC4AFCBF7ADA941479A4C7"><div style="font-family:Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11pt;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);"><a href="/sites/sitename/Lists/listname/AllItems.aspx">https://domainname.com/sites/sitename/Lists/listname/AllItems.aspx</a><br></div></div>
I see " character in your string try to replace " with ' to avoid that. Could you please help me how you are getting that data on to PowerApps.
@KrishnaV tis html is generated by sharepoint, when a user pastes that link to the multiple line of text field. How do i replace the double quotes "" with a single quotes '? will that not break the html.users paste data directly on the sharepoint field and in this instance the content of that field if you look at it through the html control is just one url link. i think SharePoint wraps it in a class if the field is a rich text field
try this formula to replace the " with ':
Concat(Split(LookUp(SampleList,ID=4,Address),Char(34)),Result,Char(39))
Use this for HTMLText formula field and then onSelect as Launch(Self.HtmlText)
Has anyone solved this problem? i am having the same issue. i have a multiline text field in sharepoint, linked to an html text box in powerapps. SPO is stripping the root of the address off the text that i enter into the multiline text field. so i enter href="https://myCompany/sites/... and SPO oh so helpfully translates that to href="/:x:/sites/... When powerapps gets its hands on that rootless address it does the best it can by adding https://us.create.powerapps.com/sites/..., but of course i don't have anything located at that address. I tried to use (substitute, thisItem.multinelinetext, "/sites/", "https://myCompany/sites/") but I can't get it to work. has anyone found something that works?
sorry, issue resolved
