Formatting from Flow to Sharepoint List

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by KH-21042011-0 59
I've got a head scratcher. I have a flow that sends a URL to my Sharepoint list, I would prefer it to be a clickable link but I have to have a json schema formatting the SP field and if I adjust the setting to anything other than Plain Text it adds weird characters, like this:
I can't use Rich Text or Enhanced Rich Text settings to allow a clickable link. I don't even care if it's a clickable link but I can't figure out how to get the field to wrap the text, I don't think that functionality exists, so my field looks like this when the URL is fed in: (I've blocked the whole URL but it stretches as far or further than the block)
You can see how it stretches into the next field. I can't move the fields around, they need to stay where they are. SO my question is, can I add a Compose action or something in my flow to make this URL palatable to feed to Sharepoint so this ugliness doesn't happen?
 
Thoughts?

    You can also add a button inside your list, for that follow below link
    Later you can update the url as @stampcoin suggested

    Assume you create a Hyperlink column.
    Then use 'Send an HTTP request to SharePoint', to update the column.
     
    Minimal flow (below pic) for your reference:
    myIDlist is the SP list name.
    IF-MATCH must be specified , value =  *
    MyLinks is the Hyperlink column name.
    Url is address, you can specify variable or dynamic value here
    Description is for the display in SP, you can specify variable or dynamic value here
     
     
     
     
    good luck.
