Hi,

My project is: [MP Second Jobs](https://mpsecondjobs.uk). The issue I am having is on this page: [Earnings breakdown](https://mpsecondjobs.uk/dl/a400f7).

If you scroll to the furthest right column of the data grid (which is unfortunately off the page right now\*\*), the last column is labelled ‘Source’. The data in this column are all URLs, and I want them to be clickable. I have set this column-type as URL in the dashboard, but when I publish it it only appears as text-type - and hence the links are not clickable.

What could be the cause of this?

\*\* PS. Side point here, but it’s quite irritating that I can’t have any control over the default width of the columns for users. That means I can’t fit the Source column onto the page when it loads. Is this something you’re planning to fix/introduce?

Kind regards,  
Andrew
