Unable to Use Variable as Either Clickable Link or in Open URL Action

[kcwhat]

@Sleepy and @ronald ,

I didn’t do any trickery or magic. I also didn’t do what @Sleepy said I did (I didn’t convert the link).

@ronald - you asked a similar question that @peternlewis answered.

See here:

Wish list or alternative solution: insert URL in comment action

For the next version I have switched on the setting for “automatically detect links” for the text field in the Comment, Insert Styled Text by Pasting, and Display Text actions. Just as @appleianer suggests, you can select the link and control click on it and Make Link, and if it is a link (or automatically detected as a link), you can choose Remove Link to make it plain again.

What I did was typed the full link to test and then I deleted the link and replaced the link with the variable. KM recognized the variable as a URL. I tested again, it worked and I posted. I actually tested different links in the set variable action. I can’t make it more complex than that. Sorry to disappoint you. Peter said he would make the link detectable in that upcoming version. @ronald , if it works, please mark the solution so we can fight with another problem.
