Hi,

 

Yes I saw those examples , but I want to store a Hyperlink directly from a workflow , not from  a View - is this possible ? Thanks

 

Hi,


 


In your workflow, you can use the smartobject method (create method) and pass the hyperlink function (under "Text" in the "Function" tab) into the smart object method, you can also try to use a varaible instead of passing the hyperlink directly into the smart object method.
