provide ability to add links in a Form

Raven Clarke

I have a case where when the user opens up the Smartsheet form, if specific conditions are met a link to a file should appear. Currently this is impossible to do. either provide the ability to easily put a link in a field within the form OR embed a form within a form would be ideal. With the link option, we should be able to provide a URL name and the link, the same way the Hyperlink functionality works within a Smartsheet.

I have this same issue where mobile users are taking more photos allowed in a single submittal. Being able to paste a link to a Box or OneDrive folder would be a great work-around!

There is an area when customizing a field to add hyperlinks under the "Help Text" section. We have a form for submitting results from product testing. The links are provided for testing procedures.

I'm unsure what kind of criteria you require for the link to display, but I would think the logic function of a Smartsheet form would get you there. If necessary, I would make a useless column/field to be able to show the help text (w/ hyperlink) based on met criteria.

I hope this is helpful and I understood the question correctly.

Thank you for this work around, it worked!

this works, but when the form is submitted and results mailed to the requester, the link goes away. While this is a step closer, it doesn't fully satisfy historical context
