Data Detectors (Unwanted Hyperlinks)

[Barry Shevlin]

The iOS note field is marking data synced from macOS as hyperlink. I don’t want this to happen but cannot see how I turn the auto detector off. I’d be grateful for help, please. All I want is plain text in the note field.

Hi Barry,

Well the next update to Tap Forms 5 allows you to designate a Note field to contain just Plain Text. But that’s independent of Apple’s NSDataDetectors system, which is still active in Plain Text notes. I’d have to add a separate switch to turn that feature on or off. I’ll think about that for a future update.

Thanks,

Brendan

Thanks, Brendan. The ‘plain text’ feature will be welcome.
