I have created a Related Field within a Child Object.....this Related Field displays as a Link to the Parent Table....I do not want the field to display as a Link.....I have created a formula field within my child object....that displays the Related Field as Text (no link).....what I really need for this formula field to do is.....Display the Related Field....as a link to the Child Record/page....not the Parent.... This is my Related Field "{!accountname}" any advice for creating a formula that links this field to the Child Record/Page would be greatly appreciated. thakns
You may use Template field instead of Formula - that will be much simpler.
Use tokens with [link] suffix, like
{!name#link}
Is it possible to combined 2 fields
{!FieldA} {!name#link}
So that FieldA displays as a hyperlink to {!name#link}
Thanks
Absolutely - that's how templates work.
Template field not working
I have a field titled "Contract Name"......I would like to create a Template Field called "Contract Name Link" that displays the Contract Name as a hyperlink in views...(or somehow make "Contract Name" auto hyperlink in views)I've tried
{!contract_name#link}
{!#LINK.contract_name}
Any ideas why this is not working. thanks
Assuming that "Contract name" belongs to Object "Contract", in "Template Helper" UI:
- find "Contract" in "Select Token Group"
- in "Select Merge Token" find "Contract [link]"
- copy and paste template token from "Copy Merge Token"
It should look like {!name#link}
Don't try to guess syntax, just find token you need in UI.
Did you manage to get this working?
Hi Iram,
You can get more information on template token syntax from this link: documentation.progress.com/.../template-token-syntax.html
