There are two fields. User must enter data into two fields.

I want to get data from these two fields, create a unique link by using data from these fields and upon clicking Submit button, the user should be navigated to that URL.

Few options that I am looking at.

1. Create an action under the Button component. But, I am only able to refer only one field and not able to modify it.
2. Create a field but combining the text from 2 fields and use this new field as an action under the Button component. But, don’t see an option to concatenate two fields.

Any help would be appreciated.

I don’t want to save any data

You could do that with a Template Column

Is this an external link?

If they’re passed as params in the link, you can use a Construct URL column so that it formats itself.
