Idea

My idea is to be able to provide a ‘URL display column’ for a URL column in the SF, using another column from the same table as the display text. This could optionally be an expression column. This will ensure that URLs are displayed in a more user-friendly way and/or take up less space on the screen.

Explanation / current situation

We have the 'URL' control for domains, which opens a URL in the active browser using a hyperlink.

This works well, but often, you don't want to display the full URL. This could be because the original URL provides little meaningful information to the user or because it takes up too much space in your form or grid.

One way to achieve this now is by creating an expression column that determines the desired display format, but this is more of a workaround than an ideal solution.

Hi ​@Jeroen van den Belt,

If I understand correctly, for this idea you have to input 2 values: the URL and the title. The title will be visible in the application and will link to the URL, similar to how files are shown.

This would be very useful!

A possible work around for now could be the use of a Windows Command Task. However, you have to click the task button, or implement a double click task.
