    Hyperlink: Opens new email. xpath to grab recipient address and subject title not working

    Hi!  I've created a form that gets submitted via an email to a shared inbox and also gets logged on a sharepoint site.  Within the form, there is a hyperlink that opens up a new email which is suppose to reply all.  My issue is that the xpath to grab the recipient address and subject which is stored on the form is not populating.  Instead the xpath itself populates the To and Subject line. 

    What I'm working with: 

    In Edit hyperlink> Data source field : concat("mailto:my:Request/my:EMPLEmail", "?subject=my:Request/my:form_name")

    Hi,

    Your syntax is close! In order for your concat statement to give your desired value, you'd need to separate fields from text strings. In this case, your formula should be: concat("mailto:", my:Request/my:EMPLEmail, "?subject=", my:Request/my:form_name).

    Notice how mailto: and ?subject= are enclosed with quotation marks --- that is how you define text strings. For fields, you simply enter their XPath, without quotation marks and then separated by commas.

    Hope that helps!
