Link

Link fields store one web link as text and validate it with link-specific rules. They are used for document URLs, external system records, reference pages, dashboards, or other web resources.

Use a link field instead of a normal text field when the value should be checked as a web link.

Basic Settings

Setting	Description
Name	The field label shown to users. It is required and should describe what the link points to
API Name	The stable technical name used by data APIs, scripts, formulas, imports, and integrations. It is required
Required	Requires users to enter a link before the record can be saved
Readonly	Shows the link but prevents users from changing it
Disabled	Makes the field unavailable for normal use
Hidden	Stores the link while hiding it from normal form pages

Link Field Config

Setting	Description
Placeholder	Prompt text shown before users enter a link
Input Status	Adds a visual status to the field, such as warning or error
Validate Trigger	Controls when link validation runs: when the value changes, when the field loses focus, or when the record is submitted
Field Color	Sets the display color used for the field
Invalid Link Message	Custom message shown when the value is not a valid link
Help Text	Helper copy shown near the field. Use it to explain what kind of link users should provide

Configuration Tips

Tip	Description
Use a specific field name	Names such as Contract Link or External Ticket Link are clearer than Link
Add a helpful placeholder	A placeholder such as https://example.com/page shows the expected format
Use an invalid link message	Tell users to enter a complete and reachable web link when validation fails
