Table field make a link

Make a table field into a clickable link in ChronoForms.

Overview

The issue occurs when trying to convert a table field value into a hyperlink, as the field's value gets overwritten instead of being used as link text.
Use the table's Output behavior or a text node. In the text node, insert the field value using its variable placeholder and then configure the node's Link parameters to set the destination URL.

Hi Max,

In a table list I have a field name "name". I want to use this field to attach a link to it, for example to adjust it in a new page. In an earlier version the Output field existed to achieve this. Now the Textnode. But no matter what I try the value of the "Name" field is overwritten. How can I use a Tablefield to make it a link?

Can you help me?

Hi Paul

you can still use the Output behavior of the table or if you use a text node you can use:

{var:row.field_name}

and then use the text node Link parameters to set the link href
