Format string for fields not working for record details view (form)

[Dja]

Format string (element/details/formatting/Format string) for fields does not appear to be working for record details view (form).

In essence, I have a field with a pdf name in it, and use the format string to convert it to a URL.

This works perfectly in list view, but when you click the mag glass, and are looking at a record, the format string is not applied. Strangely, it shows correctly in the tooltip popup when you click on the pdf icon, but doesn't then generate the correct link (note in screenshot that only original value is highlighted as the link, not complete URL)

Format string: http://site.com/fullpath/%s.pdf
Example value in record: fa690118-a7d1-418c-8bfb-c4e8516754b9
Correct output when clicked from list: http://site.com/fullpath/fa690118-a7d1-418c-8bfb-c4e8516754b9.pdf
Output when clicked from form: http://site.com/fullpath/fa690118-a7d1-418c-8bfb-c4e8516754b9

Am I missing something here to make it work?

Thanks,

Tory

Confirmed.
In details view "guess linktype" is guessing correctly but putting the <a tag around the original value, not the formatted string.
