I tried the 'url' type field and used setLinkText to mask the URL, but it doesn't work

Hi <@U5U22EVSP> you could implement this by using a text field. the value for the text field will be using an anchor tag for with the url you with to bind it to. below is a sample.

var someField = form.addField(); // text field
var someUrl = ‘<http://www.google.com|www.google.com>';
var linkText = ‘&lt;a href=“’ + someUrl + ‘“&gt;Yahoo.com&lt;/a&gt;’ ;
someField.setDefaultValue(linkText);

this also works on sublist fields

Thanks <@UGAARK5T9>, I tried this approach , it still didn't work for me in 1.0

hello <@U5U22EVSP>. I forgot to mention that the field should be readonly (inline). in this case for the sublist it should be a list or of static list type. I've attached a code written in 1.0 as a sample.
var form = nlapiCreateForm('sample form');
    var txtField = form.addField('custpage_linkfield', 'text', 'sample field');
    var linkText = '&lt;a href="https://www.google.com"&gt;Sample Link&lt;/a&gt;';
    txtField.setDisplayType('inline');
    txtField.setDefaultValue(linkText);

    var sublistData = [
      {"text": "Go to Google", "link": "<http://www.google.com|www.google.com>", "id": 1},
      {"text": "Go to Yahoo", "link": "<http://www.yahoo.com|www.yahoo.com>", "id": 2},
      {"text": "Go to Facebook", "link": "<http://www.facebook.com|www.facebook.com>", "id": 3}
    ];
    var sublist = form.addSubList('custpage_samplelist', 'list', 'sample sublist');
    sublist.addField('id', 'text', 'link id');
    sublist.addField('linelink', 'text', 'clickable text');
    sublistData.forEach(function (line, i) {
      var index = (i + 1);
      sublist.setLineItemValue('id', index, line.id);
      var lineLink = '&lt;a href="https://' + line.link + '"&gt;' + line.text + '&lt;/a&gt;';
      sublist.setLineItemValue('linelink', index, lineLink);
    });

    response.writePage(form);

Thanks ! That worked . :slightly_smiling_face:
