**Description**

I have added a column to a New Table component in the Dentally COTs layout (Colwyn Bay). I change the type to Button, and set the action to Open Link. I change the link value to a URL template field, but the button does not do anything when clicked.

I have also tried using an Action to replicate the same behaviour. Nothing happens.

I have checked there is no pop-up blocker preventing this action.

Other actions for the button work, e.g. Show Notification.

The URL is valid. It works if the Type for the column is set to Link. Incidentally however, if using the Link type the Display Value does nothing - i.e. I enter custom text but the displayed value remains the underlying URL.
