Hey guy, this is crazy, I am trying to get the reference Workflow Log URL  into my share point library called by the name "see here", however when I see the column this show me all the address instead of the link. Any idea how can I fix it.

This what I did in the action set field value:

193984_pastedImage_1.png

I am getting:

193985_pastedImage_2.png

Thank you

Try setting it before on a  text variable

Thank you Fernando, I did it but still I am getting the same outcome, is weird, this works with a list but not with my library.

Use a hyper link field type than a multi-line.

Set it like {URL} {Test to display} , remember leave a space between to two.

change datatype of a sharepoint field to number  and it should work.

see Oldest SharePoint trick in the book

that just means you did not put whole string together  correctly.

eg. I think URL within href should be enclosed within apostrophes.

I did it

I created a calculate column called Request history and wrote the following string:

="<a href='[LogUrl]'> Click to see</a>"

LogUrl is a single line of text which is listing my reference Workflow Log URL.. I did it by using a Set field value.

Thank you.
