I have reviewed the article (https://community.acumatica.com/topic/show?tid=7266&fid=288) that identifies PXDBWeblink as the way to create a custom field with an URL link to click.  I have also reviewed the website field on the customer contact page and the tracking URL field on the packages tab of a shipment.  But, I can’t seem to get it to work.

First, I created a custom field and publish the customization.

Then, I add the field to the screen.

Then in the data class, I changed the PXDBString(256) to PXDBWeblink.

When I publish the customization, the Stock Item screen looks like this.

It doesn’t have the icon to open the URL like the contact website nor is it a hyperlink like the tracking URL of the shipment.

I’m working in a local 2023 R1 instance and will attach the customization package.

You need to change PXTextEdit to PXLinkEdit in the aspx file.

<px:PXLinkEdit ID="edDefContactWebSite" runat="server" DataField="WebSite" CommitChanges="True" ></px:PXLinkEdit>

@johnw51  Here is the example for your reference. Please find the DAC and .aspx example below.

 

DAC Field:

#region WebSite			

			[PXDBWeblink]
			[PXUIField(DisplayName = "Web")]
			public virtual String WebSite { get; set; }
public abstract class webSite : PX.Data.BQL.BqlString.Field<webSite> { }
			#endregion

.aspx page:

<px:PXLinkEdit ID="WebSite" runat="server" DataField="WebSite" CommitChanges="True"/>

Editing the aspx page was the step I was missing.  Thank you.
