This appears to be a fixed link the same for all records which is a data entry field.   If that is the case you want to use a formula field. Right now you simply have a field that defaults for new records going forward.    A formula field, of course, will affect all records and not just new records.

Thank you, I changed the field and it worked. Now I understand that a regular URL field does not include existing records because normally its used to allow users to enter a URL, not for what I'm trying to do. Thanks for your help!
