Links on buttons

Link field for?

Else you can do one thing, create a cardlayout with rich text which looks like button, and use linkfield to it.

This will give a button feeling only

Hi [mention:b8cbc07b048f4b04ab9ec56f3c2d271c:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] ,

It's an appian thing, instead you can use a!dynamicLink(), to save any data by saveInto field.

There are multple functions still supports in saveInto field of button.

But if you want a linkfield you can use following components:

1. Card Layout,
2. RichTextIcon,RichTextItem.
3. StampField
4. Tags(Record Link)

etc., according to your requirement.

In tend to disagree. A clear and consistent UX requires to make a clear distinction between navigating UI elements and actionable UI elements.

In my experience on environment where multiple groups develop apps with lacking governance, I already see enough messy and inconsistent UX, even with links in buttons.

Here is an example of using a CardLayout to simulate a button with a link.

a!sectionLayout(
  label: "Form",
  contents: {
    a!localVariables(
      local!selected,
      a!columnsLayout(
        columns: {
          a!columnLayout(
            contents: {
              a!buttonArrayLayout(
                buttons: {
                  a!buttonWidget(label: "Standard Button", style: "SOLID")
                }
              )
            }
          ),
          a!columnLayout(
            width: "NARROW",
            contents: {
              a!cardLayout(
                showBorder: false,
                showShadow: false,
                style: "ACCENT",
                padding: "EVEN_LESS",
                marginAbove: "NONE",
                marginBelow: "NONE",
                contents: a!richTextDisplayField(
                  align: "CENTER",
                  marginAbove: "NONE",
                  marginBelow: "LESS",
                  value: {
                    a!richTextItem(text: upper("Card Button"), color: "ACCENT")
                  }
                ),
                link: a!dynamicLink(
                  value: "BUTTON_VALUE",
                  saveInto: local!selected
                )
              )
            }
          )
        }
      )
    )
  }
)

Improved version from the one I posted in this thread: community.appian.com/.../card-layout

This has been a product request of mine for years.  StartProcessLink is another fine example of something I'd love to be able to put on a button.  There just shouldn't be limitations on what you CAN do with a button when you could easily configure it, then to Stephan's point you could include polite suggestions what you maybe SHOULDN'T do with a button in design documentation.  Some of course would be redundant, like putting submitLink() on a button when you could just set the button's submit: to true.  However, what you would gain far outweighs what silliness you would allow.
