Application Variables for buttons

I guess you can do that, but it must be an unusual use case.  Is the button intended to be hyperlink Rich Text field or a URL formula button?

But in any case an app variable is just a string of text.  You would them  still have to make a button on each table as a formula and use the app variable as the formula.

I would have to see your app variable code to help debug.

Yes! This can be done so long as you have a static button and not one that dynamically changes with info from the record.

App Variable Example (Variable Name: Visit Quick Base Junkie):

<a class='Vibrant Success' href='https://quickbasejunkie.com' target='_blank'>Visit My Site</a>​

You can also replace the Class with Style (If you want to learn more about formatting custom buttons check out my training here)

Formula - Rich Text field (placed on the desired table/form/report):

While you can add the button formatting to each table's field, adding it to the Variable is the fastest and most consistent way of doing it if the buttons will be used in multiple locations throughout your app.

Let me know if this helps 😊👍
