Can I add links to custom fields?
There are two methods of adding links to custom fields. You can create:
- a URL custom field. It’s a validated input field that lets you enter a site address.
- a text field and add an
<a>
tag to link to an external page. This is possible for checkbox text fields only.
In this article, we show you how to add a link

Swap the URL in the example for the link you want to use and modify the text that will be linked. Be sure to include https:// and use single quotes (‘ ‘) in the tag. The linked document will open in a separate window.
7. Click Save.
The custom field you’ve created will appear within your User-defined custom fields on the Manage page.
Repeat steps 2-7 to create as many checkbox fields as you need.
