Description
There is a need for a new type of checklist field that is read-only for the end user.
Instead, this field serves as informational or instructional text within the checklist.
Its purpose is to display important notes, reminders, or instructions to guide the end user while completing the task, without requiring any input.
This field main feature is the hyperlink support.
Developer Context
- The system already supports Task Templates. Within a task template, checklists are created and consist of individual checks. Each check can have a field type such as, Text field, Yes/No question, Multiple choice, Photo upload etc.
- This new Instructional / Informational Field must be available in the same dropdown list of field types when creating/editing a checklist in a task template (see screenshots below).



- Once a template is created, it can be used in Services.
- Every individual Service (not the template, but the actual instance) has Tasks inside it. From the Service Details menu, users can open Tasks and interact with checklists (see screenshots below).



In this context, the new Instructional Field must behave as a read-only informational block, only showing content (and links) configured in the template.
Required Implementation:
- Add a new Field Type in the checklist creation dropdown: Instructional / Informational Field.
Properties for this field type (set by the creator): - Field Title / Name (mandatory) - displayed to the end user.
- Description (optional) - extended instructions or context, displayed under the title.
Required Behavior:
- For the creator: field is created and configured just like other checklist fields, functions like a Text field, but supports hyperlinks.
- For the end user: field is read-only; It simply displays static text/instructions/links. All Links are clickable and open in a new tab.
- This field type does not contribute to completion % (since there is no interaction required).
Expected Behavior:
- Task creators can add an Instructional Field to checklists alongside interactive fields.
- End users see the instructional text displayed clearly in the checklist but cannot edit or interact except for hyperlinks in this field.
- All Links are clickable and open in a new tab.
- Instructional fields do not require any user input and do not affect task completion tracking.
- All other existing checklist field types and logic remain unchanged.
