5 years agoOu of curiosity how long is the URL. you can remove the label to see the text and then paste it into word to get a character count. have you tried using Chrome to see if this is a browser limitation or a Quick Base limitation.
Yes, you can likely do some or part of the URL as an Automation. You can cause a date time field to be updated with the current time to trigger an Automation and it can copy from one table to another. "Copy" is one type of action that an Automaton can do.

Thanks for the quick response. I'm using Chrome Version 84.0.4147.125 64 bit. The character count is 8,041, including characters embedded by the URLEncode function.
I'll look at the automation approach to see if that can work and will report back.

I guess that tells us that the Quick Base limit must be 8,000 characters.

Yes, I agree. I'm trying a combination of a formula-URL field and automations next as you suggested. I'll report back.
