I’ve a few notes fields within my Form that I use for free text. I keep seeing that some data within is naturally clickable and somehow has acquired a link! Phone numbers are often clickable and appear Blue even if I try to change the colour to black!!
So my question is how do the notes get a link and how do I force the ones without a link to have a link.
I have copied and pasted some text so I’m aware that it may carry the link from where it came from.
Tap Forms uses Apple’s Data Detectors to figure out what kind of data is clickable.
It generally highlights those in blue.
Is this the iOS or Mac version?
Both really. Going back to my flight checker idea I was wondering if I could get a link to parts of the text? For some strange reason on one record half of a UK post code within the free text had a link to it and when followed it was to a check on a flight via Google. I don’t know why it thought it was a Flight number though.
I think it’s the Mac OS that’s doing the linking. I’ve just messed around with another record and if I use the phrase “Flight” or “Flight number” before the number it links to Google for that flight. Thats really useful.
Still don’t know why the Post Code did it though I hadn’t got that phrase before it.
Ya, not sure. In Xcode it’s a checkbox to turn on Apple Data Detector support. The magic is done by Apple after that.
What ever then but it works well. Nice little feature.
