Alright, so I have an idex of gitlab repository files, I would like to have a runtime field type URL for the file name with a link to it on gitlab. I currently have this script to set the URL value: ```auto def name_src = ''; if (doc['name.keyword'].size() > 0) { name_src = doc['name.keyword'].value.replace(' ', ''); } def project_src = ''; if (doc['project.keyword'].size() > 0) { project_src = doc['project.keyword'].value.replace(' ', ''); } emit('gitlab/' + project_src + '/-/blob/master/' + name_src); ``` This is going to be the field URL value compossed by the project e file name, but I need to use just the file name value on the field label. Example: URL template: {{rawValue}} Label template: {{_doc['name.keyword'].value_}} Tks ---

I did not mention field name. name.keyword refers to gitlab file name and project.keyword refers to gitlab project name. These two informations compose the gitlab URL. The question is, on the Kibana Discover search results, I want to have a link to the file but display only the file name to be clickable, not the full URL. ![discover](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/6/f6dd25e5c68b6abe1ae813905cac985edf40598e.jpeg) ---

Hello @rodrigopaulodecastro It seems as per the documentation what you are trying to achieve might not be possible. [Label template](https://www.elastic.co/docs/explore-analyze/find-and-organize/data-views#string-field-formatters) _To pass unescaped values directly to the URL, use the {{rawValue}} string. A Label template enables you to specify a text string that appears instead of the raw URL. You can use the {{value}} template string normally in label templates. You can also use the {{url}} template string to display the formatted URL._ Useful link : [[Url field formatter] The url template doesn't work as expected · Issue #152542 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/152542) If you had to substitute only 1 value while forming the URL than i think it is possible : ```auto https://www.google.com/?z&no_sw_cr=Eddie ``` ![Screenshot 2025-08-22 103805](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/8/8852faa47b6fe74a1a478fd43ca734f1ecc6bf7e.png) Thanks!! ---

Hi @rodrigopaulodecastro Yes I am afraid you and @Tortoise are correct I tried all my tricks... but yes seem like this is a limitation. Sorry I worked on this last night but fell asleep before I answered 🙂 I tried all sorts of things I was hoping I could use a value from another field but alas not the case... ---
