Format Link Field was created by Spiralmind

Hello, is there a way to hyperlink a text string vs the actual URL for a Web Address field? I was hoping to just have all the profiles say "Community Website" and they enter in the URL.

I tried using a placeholder but it's not working as expected. Not sure what I expected. Don't want long ugly URLs if they have them.

Thank you

You need to substitute in the raw value. So instead of [value] use [FIELD_NAME] substitution usage. [value] includes the fields natural HTML and in the case of a web address field this includes its HTML to already make it clickable.
