Error creating "button/link" element cell in Form Designer

I'm trying to test new feature "51. Ability to create a "button/link" element cell in the Form Designer" & getting an error message.

When I specify these parameters:

I get this message when saving the form:

I tried various parameters and always got the same error message.

I'm also not clear on when I would check the box for "Generate HTML Link element" and when I would not.

I'm excited to get this new feature working because I have some buttons / links on form that I want to conditionally display using the "Applicable" info.

Has anyone else been able to get this feature to work in 8.5?

PointsWell

I get the same error.

I am running MacOS

I'm also not clear on when I would check the box for "Generate HTML Link element" and when I would not.

From looking at the CRM example it seems that the Generate HTML Link will change the button to a hyperlink

A bug is confirmed but only in scenarios where you change the type of the existing cell to "Button/Link". If you CREATE a new button/link element from the toolbar, everything works fine.

The bug will be fixed in the next build - in the meantime use the toolbar button to create this element rather than changing an existing cell type.

The "Generate Link" flag only affects the styling of the button. If it's on the button is styled as an HTML link element

Thanks. I tried the workaround and it works to add ONE button/link to a row.

I need to add multiple button links on one row.

When will the next build come out with the fix?

The bug should be fixed in build 2816

Thanks for the quick fix!

By the way to other readers, support confirmed that the Applicable box does NOT apply to button/link and should be grayed out.
