What is the correct way to use an App column type to link to a form? I have an App column type in one app that is linking to a form in another app. I’m using this equation as an app equation:
LINKTOFORM(“Delta/Alpha Checklist”, “PM quoting”)
In the app it shows like this rather than a link to be clicked:
I was hoping use a column type rather than an action as I want the number of “links” to appear dependent on other info in the form the column is part of.

The App column type is really just a way to store pre-computed app links for use in actions (and elsewhere); columns of type App are really not suitable for use as clickable links directly.
To accomplish what you want, I would imagine you’d have a non-Editable? column of type Text that would contain the text of the link. Then create a navigation action (App: go to …), with the Display inline prominence, attached to that column. Unfortunately, the approach is cumbersome. You can conditionally show or hide the column using the column’s Show? expression.
