We are looking to try and use the “selector” type attribute. However, we want to have the ability to open the record that was selected. Currently, I am only seeing the magnifying glass which brings up the table to select the data record we want. Is there a way to add the “pencil” or a hyperlink in order open the data record once it has been selected? Thanks! 

Selector attribute only allowing record selection, not access to the selected record.

I don’t think we can add the Pencil button to the UDF fields @mnecaise

Hi ​@Naveen Boga what if it’s a custom field, not attribute? Is there a way to make it a clickable link or add a pencil next to the field so we could open up that record?

Yes, for the custom field, we can add the Pencil icon, and when user click on the icon, it will open the record.

For Pencil icon, we need to add the Allow Edit = TRUE at .aspx page. Below is the screenshot for reference.
