Sharepoint 365 - Adding clickable email to list
Hi Guys - is there a way of adding a selectable/dynamic email address to a list where that address isn't part of the same domain as SharePoint i.e. the email address of a project partner / client? ...

jacobite Yes, it is possible to convert the text field to clickable text in list view using column formatting. Follow below steps:
- Create a single line of text field in your list to enter email address.
- From list view, select column name header, select "Column settings" and then select "Format this column".
- Click on "Advanced mode" from right side panel.
- Copy-paste below JSON on textbox by removing existing JSON and click Save
{ "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json", "elmType": "a", "txtContent": "@currentField", "attributes": { "href": "='mailto:' + @currentField" } }
Output:
Documentation: SharePoint column formatting
