  Our form hooks should be all you need to do this inside of your custom UI component 🙂

  Somehow I could not find a solution to this even with the provided documentation. Isn't including fields of type UI within edit and column context unwanted behaviour anyway ? As it says in the docs "It has absolutely no effect on the data of your documents. It is presentational-only." As the value for presentational fields is supposed to be empty anyway it does not make sense to display it or edit it. @Jarrod

  I don't think it is unwanted behavior, what if you wanted to render a button that takes you to the page (like you have right there). You just need to render a custom Cell component for your ui field, read about it here:

  Got you. I didn't wanted to have the Cell functionality in the first place but now I can make sense out of it showing the link again. Thanks for you patience!
