Display linked text instead of URL or file name

    I have created html pages to display a information for each participant. I’ve tried two ways to include it in the list.

    1) Link Field: from Importing an Existing Database… I set the field type to Link Field and formatted the data: [About participant] (https://mydomain.com/directory/file.html). Nor does just the link <https://mydomain.com/directory/file.> Nothing is displayed in the column.

    2) Next I uploaded the html page to the uploads/participants-database directory, changed the field type to File Upload, and added just file.html to the field. The link worked (yay!). Now, is there a way to display linked text instead of the file.html?

    Thanks.

    New info. So I’ve found that if I set the default text to “About…” there is a text link and while that’s better than the file name link, is there a way do make the text link unique:

    About <firstname>

    On importing the link field, there shouldn’t be a space between the bracket and the parentheses:

    [About participant](https://mydomain.com/directory/file.html)

    For the file upload field, you can only choose to show the filename or the placeholder text…which is the same for all records.
