Problem identified

In J3x a custom URL field displayed the actual URL on the front end. In J4x it displays 'view website'.

Proposed solution

Revert to showing actual URL
Or make it a choice of one or the other
Or have the option of adding user-specified display text

Open questions

Why was the display format changed?

Ah yes. But it is already 'green' in my settings like you've shown. But it doesn't show on the front end.
This is, however, a website upgraded from J3.10x with pre-existing custom URL fields. Could that be the issue?

Try to resave the field.
