I have a survey set up as an application system. Student's have to enter website links into a text entry question. I then have an embedded data field that pipes their response to an approver for that question (embedded data is used due to a specific retake link setup) . Is there a way I can format their response as a web link so my application approvers don't have to copy and paste the link?

Pipe into a html hyperlink: ``` <a href="${e://Field/link}" target="_blank">${e://Field/link}</a> ``` target="_blank" will open it in a new tab/window.

@TomG , So would it just look like what I have put below and I just paste this into my survey section that displays the piped value or am I getting this wrong? Thanks so much for the response above. I tried to paste my whole response a minute ago, but i guess it formats the html here. Basically, would it just be replacing ${e://Field/link} with ${e://Field/intProviderWebsite} <a href="${e://Field/intProviderWebsite}" target="_blank">${e://Field/intProviderWebsite}</a>
