Embed a secure, external website as an iframe on a form. This provides builders a way to embed YouTube videos or other file services (Box, Drive, etc.) as a file preview. For security purposes, the only *.quickbase.com URLs that are supported are for code pages. All other native pages (*.quickbase.com URLs) do not function when embedded on a Quickbase form.
I interpret this that it will continue to work after August 21st and that the pop up is a false warning. The concern over iframes had something to do with security but I think they determined that it was only a security risk if you embed Quickbase pages within Quickbase pages.

Hi Marc,
it says external website. This works well, I was able to do it. But displaying a PDF which is saved as file attachment in quickbase is a native quickbase page.
I have double checked with support and got this answer when I specifically asked for code with iframe tags in a formula field and the August 21 release:
I did some more digging and iframes are indeed no longer going to be supported on old forms. That being said, any existing ones in your app won't be deliberately disabled. I was reading that we already have a secure example of embedding PDF previews in the new dashboards, and that our product team is working on a similar secure solution for the upcoming new forms. It appears the only option at this point would be to move this to a code page [...].
