but what I got is this,

Did I miss something? I would like to result in the first picture.

You won't see the hyperlink inside the Form because actions do not work there.

If you want to have a link inside a form for guidance, check Show columns:

Please try wrapping [Q1 Target] with ENCODEURL()

ENCODEURL([Q1 Target])

HYPERLINK() - AppSheet Help

ENCODEURL() - AppSheet Help

Hi @helenyeliu 

You second picture looks like a screenshot from a form view.

the 1st picture looks like a detail view. 

You may want to look at Behavior>Actions>Show system Actions> and pick your action.

Then:

Appearance>Attach Inline> and pick the column to which you desire your url link to be displayed with.

thanks! 

1st and 3rd pictures are the screen shot from a form view. 2nd picture is how I set up the hyperlink, I would like to see the result shown in 1st picture instead of the 3rd one.

THanks.

I set like this,

It still doesn't work.

There is an action below.

As indicated earlier:

"Appearance>Attach Inline> and pick the column to which you desire your url link to be displayed with."

[helenyeliu]

I added attach to column like this, it still doesn't show the link.

[helenyeliu]

I define the hyperlink as this

the result is still

I am using Form type for this table.  Am I able to setup the link?

Thanks!

HI,

  I found that I already setup the column using Show, it doesn't seem help. Do you have an example for this?

Thanks,

Helen

Please post a screenshot of the configuration screen of your Show-type column.

Hi @helenyeliu 

hyperlinks are basically actions.

They can't be used within a form view type.
