SelectRecord with hyperlink instead of [v] button

[Jeffrey Kuijt]

Hi

My customer asks me the following:

When he selects a record from a lookup with the small inline [v]-button: is this also possible with a hyperlink?
So he wants the complete row in the lookup to be shown as hyperlinks on which he can click to select the record.

Is that easy?

Best regards
Jeffrey

Bruce,

Can you help me with this?

Yes, I'm just not sure of the answer yet. Not least because a button generates a post, which includes data, and a link doesn't. So the URL would need to be very specific. Probably to do this would require an update to make it a reasonable amount of work on your side.

Hi Jeffrey,

I think the short answer is "no" - at least in the short term. The button does a fair bit of work and it would be some effort to make a link on a column do that work. There is data to pass, and other things to do, so there'd need to be some way to identify in the template that that is what you wanted. It's more than just a simple URL.

After checking it out it'd take a few hours to do this, and a few more to test, and so at the moment it's fairly far down the priority list.

If you or your client wants to spend some money to prioritize this then send me an email.

Cheers
Bruce
