Ah - that's right. I remember this from last week, the new forms do not have the same hyperlink options to open in a new tab similar to Dashboards and the legacy forms. At least not natively in the rich-text element at this time. You will likely need to convert over to a formula-rich text field to achieve the same result in the new forms.

I do not see that option to convert to rich text element, only a code button, assume not available
Next i created a url field, marked to display as a button, this only works some of the time, and not at all on legacy forms

Not sure I understand your second comment, I was suggesting to create a rich-text field and code your hyperlink field into that field. I was able to make this format work in the new forms

I created a URL field, with standing value and marked it display as button, works some of the time
for the formula=rich text field I use(as you pointed out, thanks)
"<a href='https://google.com' target='_blank'>UPLOAD FILES</a>"
and it will not open to new tab, im thinking its a glitch

What browser are you using? Do you have any settings that would restrict popups? I put the same URL for google just to see,
When I click the link it opens in a new tab with now issue in both the new forms and legacy form. It also applies when I'm editing/viewing the form. I did notice that on the new forms, if you click the link when 'adding' a record, the behavior is such that it will save the record/then redirect in the same screen. Not sure if you are testing only for 'adding records' - but that seems to be a scenario glitch.
