Hi, are you able to post the working example here? I'm running into the same thing where I'd like to include the URL in a Rich Text field but it is not reading my var text in the HTML code.

    I have a working example for a formula URL field that I found to work great. For whatever reason, I couldn't' get Javascript to work withint the Formula Rich Text Field after the update to that fields properties that Quick Base did.

    Mine has an IF statement but works either way. I have found that this will reload you on your current page without redirecting you to a different page. It also keeps you in the same spot of the report that you are on which is nice.  Here is my example:

    If(

    [Call Phone Trigger] = false, 

    "javascript:" &

    "$.get('" & 

    URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?act=API_EditRecord&apptoken=xxxxxxxxx&_fid_264=true&rid=" & [Record ID#]&

    "',function(){" &

    "location.reload(true);" &

    "});" 

    & "void(0);",

    "javascript:" &

    "$.get('" & 

    URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?act=API_EditRecord&apptoken=xxxxxxxx&_fid_264=false&rid=" & [Record ID#]&

    "',function(){" &

    "location.reload(true);" &

    "});" 

    & "void(0);")
