Hyperlink with too many characters

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello,

 

I have an app based on Sharepoint lists with hyperlinks. However, the max characters allowed is 255, but some Sharepoint links are longer than that. I have tried adding a multiline text with rich text column (like this) but if I add that to my app it does not show the link but other text. Does anyone know how to solve this, or add long hyperlinks?

    If you display the content using an HTML Text control (rather than a label control), that should display the link as a hyperlink rather than text.
