I need a solution for this, I have a VC where I concatenate comments in a timeline. So the user has all the comments they enter, in a timeline view where I use the SUBSTITUTE formula and I replace the " , " by a line break. See the result below:
But I wish I could use a linktoview, or any other action if I click in a certain text such as “Click here”. I tried to use the inline action in a specific column, but when I create a VC and concatenate it in the whole text, it does not work.
Why not use an inline view and present your timeline as a table of records? I assume those details are coming from related records, yes?
If you did that, there’s all kinds of possibilities that open up: you could add a button holder column and display it in line, you can take over the tap action, all sorts of things.
My client wants it to look like a page, a timeline of events. I already have an inline view, but sometimes the text is too big and does not fit the inline. I do not know if I made myself clear, but he wants it as a “word” page, which is what he already uses. I was able to do that. but I wanted a single action in each row concatenated to facilitate his edit. Something like a “click here” to support an action in the middle of the text.
I know it probably will not work for your stringent requirement. But further detailing @MultiTech ’ s practical suggestion, you could experiment with the card view as an inline view. In the mobile and tablet view, the card inline view will give a much similar feel of a vertical list.
The card view’s long text field , highlighted in red below, allows fairly large text. As a bonus with the card view, you will get a bunch of navigation options including the standard “go to detail view” on clicking the view
Just for discussion purpose. Maybe I am missing some point, but I was also thinking of sharing the long text column HTML option. However I think the cascading multirow HTML table may lack the looping mechanism to continuously add comments.
Of course it will work for a limited or finite number ( say a pre constructed HTML table of 10 rows) of child table comments being collated.
You’ve already put more thought into it than I have. I didn’t suggest it because I think it’s a good idea, just because it can include inline hyperlinks.
