I am trying to publish a file geodatabase to an ArcGIS Online Feature Service that has several attributes with URLs.  One attribute that has just the URL (e.g. https://safe.com) and it works fine and is a clickable link in the AGOL popup window.  Another attribute has several URLs with a linked name and using formatting like: 

<a href="https://safe.com/page.aspx?ID=1">Link 1</a>; <a href="https://safe.com/page.aspx?ID=2">Link 2</a>; 

If I publish like this, I get a code 400 failure message. I believe the ArcGIS API is looking for an encoded URL so I tried the TextEncoder transformer and that will let me publish but the attribute shows up as text, not a clickable link. I tried several of the encoding types: HTML, URL (percent encoding), and XML but AGOL shows them all as just a text string. How do I make these clickable links? I should also note that if I simply upload my GDB in the AGOL interface it works fine without the encoding (the link names are displayed and clickable), my issue is just with the arcgisonline writer.

Hi @zagorka​ 

If you're using FME 2019 and newer, one workaround you can try is using two ArcGISOnlineConnectors chained one after another as demonstrated in the example titled Upload and publishing a file geodatabase as a feature service in the transformer documentation.

I tested this method using the HTML snippet you posted and the both links appear as hyperlinks in the ArcGISOnline popup.
