Open URL Feature not working anywhere.

So I made a project in the windows creator with a link, and when I previewed the project, It did not open. All I saw was a black bar across the top of the screen and a close button. So I exported it to mac and tried again, This time it did not open. Yes, I know my link is correct, Yes it worked when I search the exact same link in my normal browser.

I read somewhere on the forums that it doesn't work sometimes in the preview, so I assumed that was the problem and I moved on. Now I am done and I need to have it published as soon as I can, but when I finished getting it ready on apples end, I downloaded it on test flight. Test Flight is a IOS app that lets you download your applications and test them exactly how they will be when they are published. So I got it up and running and this time it opens the in app browser but all that opens is the google home page, it doesn't even attempt to open my link.

This is a big issue because the apps whole purpose is to open these links, also I think if its a pro feature, It should function correctly.

Rule:

@Enderjump , open the expression editor and enter the URL enclosed in quotes.

Is that a fix to a bug, or is that actually the way your supposed to format it? @Hopscotch

@Enderjump, that is the correct and safe way to do it.

Although it is possible to enter text directly into the field without quotes, it is easy to get into a bad habit and mistakenly enter text into the expression editor without quotes. This would lead GS to interpret the text as an attribute, which is wrong.

This is most likely what has happened in your case.

So, when entering text, I have gotten into the habit of always opening the expression editor and enclosing the text in quotes.
