Forms - Hyperlink in help text of questions - How to open in a new tab?
I created a survey in forms, and I have several questions where I would like to have the user be able to click on a hyperlink within the help text section to get more information. However, any hyperlink I add does not open in a new tab. And the user loses any inputs they have already put into the form. When in edit mode, Smartsheet has the code built in to open in a new tab. How do I use that same code when the form is published/live to open in a new tab? It does not make any sense at all to have a help text link take a user to a new page and lose all your from inputs. It is pretty standard praactice to have a help text link open in a new tab. Any help/code I could add to the URL to help would be great? I've tried with multiple URLs, none work. I'm using Chrome with standard settings. Thanks in advance!

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:
Cheers,
Genevieve
