Hyperlink Target a New Tab

Jessica Levine

I have created a form that contains a fair number of hyperlinks. These all take users to a site outside of Smartsheet. Is there a way for me to direct those hyperlinks to open up in a new window/tab instead of the same one?

Hi @Jessica Levine

I hope you're well and safe!

I think it's possible, but only when it's placed in a specific section.

Where do you have it now?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Hi Andree,

Thank you for the quick response! Most of the links are in a Heading/Description field. I do have a few in a question description field, though.

Hi Jessica, Did you figure out how to have the hyperlinks in the form open in a new tab?

Hi all,

Hopping in here to let you know there's been an update to the way hyperlinks work in forms!

It won't happen automatically for your current links, you'll need to re-add them for the links to open in a new tab. Here's more information:
