URL in alert box not opening correctly

Hi,

I have a very simple workflow that pulls out a few specific items from the layer metadata using a web request. It is then added to an alert box for the user to view that information. I'd like to include a URL link to the metadata page but can't get it to work correctly.

At the moment I have this:

Text: ="__Description:__ " + $webRequest1.json.data.description + "\n\n__Copyright Text:__ " + $webRequest1.json.data.copyrightText + "\n\n[Metadata record]($urlText.result)"

Clicking on the resulting hyperlink directs you to: **apps.vertigisstudio.com/web/$urlText.result

If I replace $urlText.result with static text in the alert box then it works fine, but I need the hyperlink to change depending on the layer (i.e. using the urlText.result value).

Any ideas what I've missed?

  It looks like the string is not properly set, and it now contains the literal text $urlText.result, not the value of the variable. Change it to:

  ="__Description:__ " + $webRequest1.json.data.description + "\n\n__Copyright Text:__ " + $webRequest1.json.data.copyrightText + "\n\n[Metadata record](" + $urlText.result + ")"

  or a slightly more readable format:

  =`__Description:__ ${ $webRequest1.json.data.description }
  
  __Copyright Text:__ ${ $webRequest1.json.data.copyrightText }
  
  [Metadata record](${ $urlText.result })`
