Unfortunately NO:(

But I'm thinking to change the field to formula - Rich text

Referred this page: https://help.quickbase.com/user-assistance/configure_url_fields.html

Relevant section from the documentation:

Use the CSS class (SaveBeforeNavigating) inside of a formula-rich text field and Quickbase will save the record before navigating.
Note: Only one of these workflow classes is supported per formula-rich text.
Here’s an example of a formula-rich text field that uses this feature:

<a class='Vibrant Success SaveBeforeNavigating' data-replaceRid=true href='https://community.quickbase.com/db/abc?a=dr&rid=%%rid%%'>Click here</a>

Yes, then you will need to use the SaveBeforeNavigating syntax.

Hi Mark,
I used the syntax but still I receive the same pop up message. Do you think this formula looks right?
If(
(not IsNull([Project record ID#])and [Sign Off Status]="1. Draft"),
"<a class='Vibrant Success SaveBeforeNavigating' & href='" & [Endorsement Bypass] & "' target='_blank'>Endorsement Bypass</a>")

  Sorry, but I can't see anything wrong with your formula. Is the table set this way in advanced properties?

  I'm betting the extra ampersand just before the href is breaking the functionality of your button:
  If(
  (not IsNull([Project record ID#])and [Sign Off Status]="1. Draft"),
  "<a class='Vibrant Success SaveBeforeNavigating' & href='" & [Endorsement Bypass] & "' target='_blank'>Endorsement Bypass</a>")
