Filepicker: Change in link characteristics in submissions

    Hi,

    The following change in behaviour happened yesterday.

    In submissions the filepicker information changed from displaying with an active link that could be clicked and the image would fire up .... to a static text status (see below)

    This is more a notification .... but for my half-cent ... I'd say that users being able to click a link in submissions as opposed to copying and pasting the text ... is more user-friendly.

    Hello Mark, if you don't mind could you give us a link to your report or even just a clone that is having the issue.

    Unfortunately, we can't replicate it from our side. Also, could you please try to re-create your reports.

    Thanks,
    Widgets Team

    Hi widgets,

    This is not about the reports.

    This is about the Jotform submissions area.

    Sorry for the confusion ... I have used the word submissions in the title and in the post.

    Please try submitting ... and then checking the submissions area for that submission and you will see what I mean.

    Thanks Mark

    Ok,

    Just to be clear ... in my case ... this is a "nice-to-have" not a "need-to-have".

    However, it was already in place ... and I think it makes sense to keep it as it was in the first place ... as it was better.

    Better to have an active link that fires up the photo in a new window than some text you keep having to copy and paste.

    Many Thanks

    Regards Mark
