Hi,
I wanted to provide a link to a separate site in the help text of a specific form field. Is there a way I can add links to that or is it all just plain text?
+2Should have clarified more, apologies. Can I hyperlink specific words within the help guidance? So, in your screenshot, link xyz.com under the word “importance”

No; currently you can only enter the explicit URL text. (The Form editor evidently uses some sort of prefabricated widget for handling the URL, but so far I can’t find any way to force it to let me edit the linked text.)

I second that request!
+1Yeah, I could really use the ability to hyperlink text. It looks so odd having a long link display out of context.
+4Edit to add (5/8/24)-- This has been fixed and I am so thankful to now be able to add hyperlinks to text via the new version of forms.
Wish they would get this fixed!
+1Indeed, when can we expect a fix for this issue ?
Do we know if it is currently been upped to Airtable team?
+1fillout.com lets you make an Airtable form and format all of the question text, e.g. if you’re looking to add hyperlinks or format the text like a word-doc. It’s free and quick to set up if you want to give it a shot!
I made a quick example below with a hyperlink in some help text:

This is now possible in the new form builder, Philip! It doesn't work in old forms though.
