How to set up so that the link url in the description of fields becomes a hyperlink

hi, developers,
i found that the link url in the description of fields (e.g file field) cannot click directly to visit, it is like text, i want to konw how to config so that the link url in the description of fields becomes a hyperlink?

Hello

yes the description text of file field is "filtered" as string
- meaning we filter out any HTML inside of it aka we filter any HTML
so if you add a link like <a>Some text</a>
then only this will be saved into the database
Some text

we only allow line breaks which we replace with newlines before filtering out HTML

thanks for your reply.
So if i want to show the url that can be clicked in the description of 'file field',  what can i do? how to config?

Hello

This was never allowed,
techincally it is possible to be changed, to use the same filtering as Joomla text filters (= filtering according to editor's usergroups)
but then people will start asking for features that exist in the textarea ...

You do not need to use the description property of the file field
Just create a fieldgroup
Then add to it
- add a file field
- and a textarea field or a weblink field

 

Thanks.
Got it!
As I am doing, add a field of textarea.
