Dropping Custom Field into URL on Template Component

This should be an easy one.

I have a template field in a field editor component and I am trying to do a simple link to a Salesforce report where I am passing in a field value. However, it looks like Skuid forces the custom field to be displayed.

My setup. You can see my template link is:

<a href="https://my.salesforce.com/00O50000003v1Ir?pv0={{Household__c}}">Report</a>;

But the result is this:

What I want is the just the word "Report". Why is it displaying the Household__c value?? I have tried enabling and disabling 'Allow HTML'. Same behavior.

What do I need to do to my template link so that it drops in the custom field into the URL and only displays the proper text?

Thanks!

Peter,

Try using a triple curly brace around that Household__c merge:

{{{Household__c}}}

No problem! Just for fun (and in case anyone else finds this thread looking for info on Skuid merge syntax), here are a couple of documentation links:

Skuid Template Syntax - http://help.skuidify.com/m/11720/l/216661-skuid-template-syntax

Thanks for the resources. I'll review these closer. One more related question, I just added the target="_blank" and it's working great but when I get back to the Skuid page tab I see this blank pop-up. What's that and how do I get rid of it?

That's a new one to me. This is on the page builder? Would you mind posting your page XML (look for the View/Edit XML link in the bottom right corner)?
