Hi,

I would like to know if it's possible to put a variable of an entity in an URL when performing the action "Go to URL" on a label.

Example : we have the entity "Index" and we want to add the code of this entity at the end of an URL; The screen is filtered by one "Index".

Go to URL.PNG

Regards

    Hi @Alexis Dufraux ,

    this is currently only possible when using a WebViewer or Button object.
    Unfortunately, the substitution formulae are not evaluated in a Label's Action Value.. This applies even if the URL is built using a layout on the Label.

    If you want to make use of the webviewer you can find the appropriate information here:

    https://help.board.com/docs/creating-a-webviewer-object

    Here's the recipe for Button-URL: I've created a button that uses the substitution @user with my name and a call to Board's homepage and the search function.

    The layout looks like this

    The button's settings don't use a URL, directly

    This is the result:

    This works with "@<entity>", too.

    Best,
    Helmut
