Prevent a reference column displayed as link
How can I prevent a reference column to be displayed as a link?

A lookup column has an option for displaying it as e link or not. A reference column has not.

I have users who want to change the link to the master record and click on the hyperlink. They get confused and in this case it is not necessary to be able to navigate to the linked record. Therefore I do not want the reference column to be shown as a link.

How can I do that?

There are 2 ways that should do it.

1. Make sure the originating column in a reference is not itself a link.

2. If you need it to be a link in one place but not the other, then make a formula text column and just but the reference column into the formula.

ps. You can also use this anytime you want to display the same column in more than one place in a form, or document, or email, Just make extra formula columns with the name slightly different than the original column.
