Hi Harish_Patil

you can use a column formatting for your hyperlink column and open the link in a new tab:

{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
  "elmType": "a",
  "txtContent": "@currentField",
  "attributes": {
    "href": "@currentField",
    "target": "_self"
  }
}

Hi Dave,

What needs to be add instead of "txtContent": "@currentField" and "href": "@currentField"?

I have column but different different name. Can we take name which I have now in current hyperlink column r can we add some condition to take text? Please find the below screen shot.

Thanks,

Harish Patil

You don't change them, just leave them as they are. @currentField means that it will display whatever is in that field.
