URL hyperlink don't work in AGOL Dashboard

Hi folks!

I’m working on adding a hyperlink to a table in an ArcGIS Dashboard.

Below is the Arcade expression I’ve been using, based on ESRI’s How-to guide:

URL: {

displayText: `<a href="${$datapoint["URL"]}" target="blank">${$datapoint["URL"]}</a>`,

hoverText: `<a href="${$datapoint["URL"]}" target="blank">${$datapoint["URL"]}</a>`,

textColor: '',

backgroundColor: '',

textAlign: 'left',

iconName: '',

iconAlign: '',

iconColor: '',

iconOutlineColor: ''

However, look at the screenshot. The hover text matches the display text in the code, but at the bottom of the page of the browser it shows the link of my dashboard. When I click the hyperlink, it just reloads the same dashboard.

Doesn't make sense to me! Somebody have any ideas?

Ken

Your URL doesn't have the proper formatting. "www.nhl.com" vs "https://www.nhl.com/"

edit:

If you can't amend the underlying data, maybe something like this will work:

var URL = Concatenate("https://",$datapoint.URL)

var URL1 = Concatenate('<a href=',URL,' target="blank">',$datapoint.URL,'</a>')

return{

...

displayText : Text(URL1),
