Originally created by @OliElli on GitHub (May 30, 2023).

NetBox version

v3.5.1

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Extending https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/7118

I would like a markdown style "display name" for a URL, Eg:

Current field:
http://example.com/a-very-long/link/that/makes/things/look/messy?in_the_ui

Proposed field:
[nice text](http://example.com/a-very-long/link/that/makes/things/look/messy?in_the_ui)

That renders like this:
nice text

Use case

Makes the URL custom field look neater

Database changes

No response

External dependencies

No response

@DanSheps commented on GitHub (May 30, 2023):

Seems reasonable, not sure how the best way to implement this would be.

Might be easier to allow markdown rendering in a regular text field to allow for this and not worry about the URL field. It looks like long text you can already render a markdown URL.

So it does! I'll use that field then and close this.

It might still be worth it adding markdown to the "Text" custom field type, if you desire that, feel free to open up a FR for that.
