Making email addresses clickable in a Creator form view

Making email addresses clickable in a Creator form view

Hi folks,

New Creator user here - I'm building a client management system for a small charity in the UK. Loving Creator so far.

This is my first hurdle:

I've created a 'Client View' form with a lookup field to pull in details from a master form containing client data, and display the data in other (disabled) fields in this form. Here's part of my Deluge script:

temp = Client_master_form[ID == input.Client];
Date_of_Birth = temp.Date_of_birth;
input.Postcode = temp.Postcode;
input.Email = temp.Email;

My issue is that email addresses are not rendered as mailto links when displayed in either single line fields or email fields. I've implemented G Suite here, and so I want our users to be able to click on an email address (as is possible in a report view) to open Gmail and start composing.

I'd do this by adding an HTML tag around the text, but apparently this is no longer possible in form views?

NB: The reason I'm using a form view is that I want to pull certain (not all) client data into the view, then use a subform to add notes and upload files against client records.

Am I going about this the right way? Am I missing a trick? Any newbie assistance would be gratefully received.

Thanks,

James
