Output clickable link with mailto: from text input?
Permalink Browser Info Environment
Hi Jordan,
I'm wondering if there is a way to have a text field that receives an email address as plain text show up in the finished block as a clickable link that displays the email address and when clicked has the mailto: link behind it?

but I can't seem to get it spit out the format I want. I tried swapping it with URL portion of the block builder but it didn't work for me. I'm hoping to avoid rebuilding from scratch, so I thought I'd check in with your first.
Thanks in advance!

Wow. I was way over-thinking this. I also had failed to update the variable name properly. Everything is working great now. Thanks Jordan!
