How to add Help Button Link to Macro?

[IraWatt]

Every tool has a Help button here:

How do you add a URL to this button?

The interface designer looks as though you should but it here: 

However, it does not appear to work with any Hyperlink I provide.

Any help is greatly appreciated 😄

Hello @IraWatt 

Interestingly enough I ran into the same difficulty testing it just now. I had no issue linking to a file which opened perfectly, but I was not able to open a URL that I entered. From the Interface Designer help page it says https://help.alteryx.com/20221/designer/interface-designer-window: 

• Help: Use File or Hyperlink: A relative path or URL to a custom Help topic for an app or macro. The default Help page is either Analytic Apps or Macros. The referenced topic displays when a user presses F1 or selects the tool and selects the Help icon in the Configuration window.

So it would appear that a URL should be an option. Can you submit a support case here to confirm? https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Support/bd-p/SupportPage

Thanks @BrandonB, good to know I'm not the only one 😅. I have submitted a case now.

I'm facing the same issue. Were you able to find a solution?

@rubaiyadoula Alteryx are still working on it. The workaround they suggested was using a link like the one shown in the attached workflow.
