I have a clickable URL in my Survey123 form. When clicked it is giving me QR code format as oppossed to opening the web PDF

Hi there

The title captures most of the error (See below)

The URL is meant to take you to a PDF stored in my companies sharepoint but I get this error instead. The URL is being pulled from a CSV stored in the media file and then used in a note with this code (See Below). Depending on the choice within a Select_One_From_File it displays the correct URL code to go alongside the choice. 

I have pasted several of these URL's into my browser and they work fine

pulldata('Legal_Reference_List_C','Link','name',${SelectLegalReference})

${LinkCal}

'('<a href = "${LinkCal} ">Link to Legal Reference</a>')

It seems like the URL is working but in a QR code format. Has anyone ever come across this before ??

All the best

I just tried several links in one of my forms (PDF, XLSX, and ASPX). All worked without issue. I tested in the apps (not the web interface).

My HTML is formatted the same as yours, except I hard-coded my URLs
<a href="https://pin...ent.aspx">Risk Management SharePoint Page</a>

Have you tried bypassing the pulldata() to see if that is the issue? I know you said you pasted the links in your browser, but I mean have you tried putting the links directly into your HTML.

Hi there

Thanks for responding. I have tried to bypass the pulldata as you mentioned by just making a regular URL clickable within the form

'('<a href = "https://RegularURL.com">Link to Legal Reference</a>')

But now this URL is not clickable at all within the form. Or am I doing something wrong here?

I have found the solution. I had my code above within the caluclation field (silly mistake). When I moved it into the label of a note field me solved the QCR link error and worked as expected

Thank you for the help
