How can I place a hyperlink on a text readonly field? (During Import)

Question

I have created a field called "Old sys ID" and I mapped old system ticket ID with this field. I would like to add a hyperlink to old system.  I added below format in CSV files and tried to import.

[text to diplay|https://link-to-old-system-defect]

But the above value uploaded as is instead on "Text to display"

Please advise

Hi Kian, Thanks for your reply. I actually used the format [text to diplay|https://link-to-old-system-defect]. In your case what would be the Text that displayed for the hyperlink? Full URL or any text in specific?

@Madhusudhan,

Instead of using the format [text to diplay|https://link-to-old-system-defect], I just put in https://link-to-old-system-defect. That automatically converted into a hyperlink on import. Using a readonly field, I don't know if you could actually format it any differently.

Thanks,

Kian
