Add "Title" for URL type fields

[Matt_Blais]

It would be nice to be able to set the displayed Title of a URL type field (or a Formula with URL type). This is currently supported in Rich Text links (and everywhere else on the internet), but not URL type fields.

Also needed is a new Formula function to set both the Title and URL to be returned from from a URL-type Formula field.

This a major pain point for me especially in trying to integrate/link fibery to other systems. In most situations, the URL are really long and ugly, so while this seems insignificant, it feels like a big quality of life improvement.

This thread has some great ideas and precedent examples:

Better UX for Opening External URLs

I like the idea of having a url type, but wish we could either make the URL field more user friendly or leverage the button field to open links. So, the idea is that we might have external documentation or an external page of some kind to reference. As-is, the URL field shows the beginning of the URL, you can click it and it’ll open. However, I think it would be more polished looking if we could make that link look more like a button, and provide some alternate text. Currently, this is what it…

This request is basically the same idea as you’ve expressed here (I was inspired by Excel’s HYPERLINK formula function):

URL alias in formulas

I use the formulas quite a bit as a way of connecting Fibery to other systems. However, the result includes the entire URL which sometimes can be quite long. This is specially a problem when displaying these fields in the table view. I was wondering if it is possible to add an argument when “URL” is chosen as the return type to provide an alias which is displayed in the UI instead? It would be great if the alias could also be formula based/dynamic but even a static string alias would be an impro…

I had a fairly similar idea to you in terms of implementation (at least for formula based URLs):

@cannibalflea

I think it would be difficult to do this for hyperlink input fields (i.e. where a user inputs the URL). However, I’m hoping this is relatively easy to do for formula fields where the Field Type is set to URL:

I hope there is some movement on this soon
