Hi and welcome to the Testiny forum!

Thank you for your feedback!

Are the links you have in that field absolute? I.e. do they start with a https://...?
If you do that, then opening the link should work correctly.

But there is definitely an inconsistency in how URLs fields are treated in the test cases view and the test run view.
We will fix this in one of our next releases, i.e. that values of URL fields are also treated as absolute links in the test run view.

Best regards,
Alex

Hi Alex, In response to your question, yes, the links begin with https://... Thank you for your attention to this matter! Regards, Taras

Weird, absolute links work for me when I tested it. Maybe you can give me an example? Edit: ahh, if you have a display value, that value is used to build the URL. We will fix that.

This is now fixed with the latest release Testiny v1.42.0.
