Hi, I’m updating a list item in Sharepoint from a workflow in Nintex Automation Cloud. The text I’m adding is a url. When I add the hyperlink to a text field it’s fine but when I add it to a hyperlink field it just doesn’t add anything at all - leaves it empty. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong? Full disclosure: I’m including a variable that holds an id in the url.

Unable to write to hyperlink field

Well - I’ve fixed it. I created a new field and wrote to that and it worked. So annoying! Anyway, this might help someone in the future so thought I’d let you know. Thanks

url,text - so the url string then a comma and the text for the link, you can just supply the url .

+5Hi Rick, I’ve already tried that and it doesn’t work - it just doesn’t write to the field at all. Do you have a working example I could look at?
Thanks.

Hi
I have tested this functionality, and it works out of the box.
I just entered a URL and tried using a variable as well, and both worked.
Do you have the same issue with SharePoint designer workflows?
