Why is PrintModuleTable returning richtext for type instead of link for a view column that is a link?

The built an RPE report from code in PrintModuleTable.  When processing a column containing a link, the type should be URL but is returned as richtext.  Hence, the section of code that checks for a link does not ever get executed.

Please note that I tried to upload a screenshot but apparently I am not worthy since I have less than 60 reputation points.  Not kidding, that is the message I received. Rich

PrintModuleTable uses views data source schema. You can make data request against the DNG view (for which you are generating the report) using a browser as explained in https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/DNGModuleViewExternalRequest and check if the XML returned is as expected. If not, please raise a defect against DNG.
I remember a  similar workitem created against DNG, where the data returned was text instead of richtext. I can confirm if you can provide the screenshot. You can upload it somewhere and share the link.

Thank you for the reply.  Here is a snippet of the XML.  Field:type should be "link" since this correlates to a column that is a link. Here is the URI.  You will need to change it based on your DNG instance. It only take a few minutes to compose this and try in your browser.  https://localhost:9443/rm/publish/views?moduleURI=_fWEhZlrsEemD-u_UQ3Y4MA&viewURI=_f3bh8VrsEemD-u_UQ3Y4MA&projectURI=_cZpMcFrsEemD-u_UQ3Y4MA&showAttributes=true&showEmbedTitles=true&maximiseEmbeds=false&minimizeEmbeds=false&size=100&viewDisplayBaseProperties=true&nolinks=true Thanks, Rich
