Changes to Hyperlink Formula Fields
In Salesforce Winter 18, Salesforce is going to eliminate the use of JavaScript for formula fields using the Hyperlink function. Salesforce is doing this change in three phases, starting with the Spring 17 release. For more details, see Salesforce knowledge article on Hyperlink Formula Fields for Javascript Disablement.
Anticipating this change, the out-of-the-box hyperlink formula fields of BMC Remedyforce have been updated accordingly in Summer 17 release. If you have created custom hyperlink formula fields using javascript, you will need to update the fields according to Salesforce guidelines.
As a result, there are certain changes in application behavior which are listed below:
