#_EVENTLINK not showing in the admin/dashboard

sorry for the confusion but where did you used placeholder #_EVENTLINK again?

I use it in the front end as follows

<tr>
			<td>
                #_EVENTDATES<br/>
                #_EVENTTIMES
            </td>
            <td>
                #_EVENTLINK
                {has_location}<br/><i>#_LOCATIONNAME, #_LOCATIONTOWN #_LOCATIONSTATE</i>{/has_location}
            </td>
        </tr>

The placeholders don’t run on admin pages, so I’m not sure what you mean.

Are you thinking of:

Mh I’m a bit confused.

If we take the custom attributes for instance #_ATT, they are visible on the admin page, which is handy if you want to update them after the user submission.

Are you sure the placeholders cannot be used on the admin side? How do you update them then?

yes, placeholder #_EVENTLINK is based on the events permalink; you can also use #_EVENTURL to get the actual permalink.

Makes total sense. I really missed the plot here.
Thanks.
