Hi all!

Clicking an URL link in 'list view' does not open the URL in a new tab in the web browser. Instead it 'highlights' the URL in goes into edit mode.

I want a click to 'follow the link'. How/is it possible to do that?

Thanks for any suggestions!

Yeah that does seem weird. Is using the button field type not a viable option for this case?

Yes, you can use the button — but I rather not introduce more fields (columns). I am fighting hard to cut down everything that is not necessary in the database.

Do you have the field type set to URL? I have a URL field in one of my bases and it works just fine when I click the URL.

If however, you have it in a text field, it won't work the same way.

I use the list view:

And, yes, the field type is set to URL.
