+15Hey folks!
Seems like a simple question, but, I can't for the life of me figure out how to get a hyperlink - on a form - to use an item property. We basically want a "click here" to open the item that the task is related to, but, nope. Can't use item properties to form a link apparently.
Anyone got a way around this?
Cheers,
Rhia

open your task form, add a rich text control to your task from. I double clicked to get into the properties of the rich text field. you can then add your workflow var to the body of your rich text control

<a href="{Common:ContextItemUrl}" target="_blank">{Common:ContextItemDisplayName}</a>
As Shown:
What you'll see after you hit OK:
What it looks like in the editor:
What it looks like on the Task Form proper:
For whatever reason the 'Insert Hyperlink' in that dialog has never worked and does nothing when I click it. This was a quick and dirty way around that though.

Any reference text I try to add turns into this weird ... mush.

+2+2Never mind got it resolved. The URL need to be the full URL not a relative one when you construct and add them to a email or task body. Relative will still work on a formatted task form if you have a text box enabled to be rich text.
