Popup FieldsContent - using arcade to return url value for an attribute

Question

Hi all,

we are using a popup for one of our features with a FieldsContent.

We are using an arcade expression for one of the fields. The expression returns a url calculated with a concatenated string.

It was a positive surprise that the API understands that it is a hyperlink and it creates an anchor element with the text "View" at the popup. The users can click on the anchor element and a new tab opens with the link.

We have a new request from our customer to change the text "View" on the hyperlink to whatever we want.

Is this possible?

We tried to use arcade to return an anchor element correctly structured but with no luck.

Any ideas are welcome!

Following this the link below worked however, I'm trying to write the expression from the popups where I go into a Fields List --> Select Fields --> Add Expression this adds a nested type and text return. My goal is to be able to change the name from the returned text from "View" to "Download." Is this possible from the steps I outlined?

Any follow up? I haven't been able to change the text either with the anchor tag?

yeap, we did that:

I can see a workaround, create a custom content that returns a table element (or returns a widget) with the proper structure for the whole FieldsContent. It's kind of an overkill, just for one attribute to generate a custom popup content. If there is no other way, we might go for that but I think it should be feasible with arcade somehow!
