Hi Paul_Mather, totally agree, the problem with the simple text field is that the URL length is trimmed when the project name is long, because of that we wanted to check with Multiple lines of text custom field.
On top of that, we are using the modern SharePoint sites and the Copy Link feature does not shorten the URL either...
