I have used the information from Tableau Friction: Dashboard Text Links - Adding and Customizing, no Worksheets Needed to customize my hyperlinks to be a name instead of the website address. I want to take it one step further and change the color to red, get rid of the underline, and bold the hyperlink.
The script tableau uses for hyperlinks are below:
<formatted-text>
<run> Additional information located at </run>
<run auto-url='true' fontcolor=''⌗0000ff' fontname='Arial' hyperlink='tabdoc:load-url url="https://website" ' underline='true'>website</run>
</formatted-text>
I edited it to be:
<formatted-text>
<run> Additional information located at </run>
<run auto-url='true' bold='true' fontcolor=''⌗8e001c' fontname='Arial' hyperlink='tabdoc:load-url url="https://website" >website</run>
</formatted-text>
The hyperlink is now bold but still blue and underlined. When I open up the edit text the hyperlink text is bold red and not underlined. When it is closed the dashboard still shows it as bold blue with it underlined. If any changes are done in the edit text and applied the hyperlink is no longer a hyperlink.
Any help would be great.
I'm only guessing here, but rather than deleting underline='true' you should make it underline='false'. Also you may be mixing single and double quotes on the new color -- at least you are in what you posted above. These might fix your issue. [I did not test it.]
