New Type "Weblink" for User Defined properties (EP-edition)

Youngling Beiträge: 4 Beitrittsdatum: 07.01.15 Neueste Beiträge
Hello,

our company docs for requirements, test environment a.s.o. are saved on a external VCS (svn) and reachable over http(s).
Therefore the tab "Attachments" is not suitable for us.  We'd like to use custom-user-property to link the doc(s) within Klaros.

Currently there is the type "Text" to save Name and Value(=Default), but the http-link is not clickable. There should be a  new Type, like
"Weblink" to save an external url-based (http(s)) Text , which one is clickable in Klaros (and open a new browser-window).

---------

Another enhancement : the Value for a user-defined-property with type="Text" should also be multiline (for better reading the longer values).

Regards,
Torsten G.

Hello Torsten,

the "Text" property already renders any URI's automatically as Hyperlinks.
The only exception is the input field  itself which does not support this mode.

BTW this rule also applies to almost any other text field as well, so you may as well use hyperlinks in description fields and the like.

Your request for multiline custom text fields is already tracked as KLAROS-2255, I raised its priority in our road map.

Thanks for your input!

Regards,

Torsten

Hello Torsten,

Thanks for the fast feedback! I have a screenshot (only important parts visible) attached.
(Klaros 4.2.6 EP)
  • running TestCase (at first step)
  • text in "Anhang im SVN 1-4" are User Properties of this TC
  • Links are not clickable (internal links are shortened...) - please look the simple sample at "Anhang im SVN 3"
Also (as enhancement), some links are really long; it would be a helpful solution to define a short name  (like some wiki's do it):
"Document 1":http://i.am.a.very.very.long.url.with . some.w h i t espaces.de

Regards,
Torsten

Hello Torsten,

this feature is indeed missing for user defined strings. This has been tracked as KLAROS-2545 and is now resolved towards version 4.2.8.

We currently have no plans for adding an URL shortening service but will keep this in mind.

Regards,

Torsten
