I would like to create a hyperlink in the customize cell function to create a link to the drill-down record within our system. To do this, I need the id we put in the hidden id field type for that record. I'm not sure if this is a bug or just not a feature yet because the recordId property in the drilldown is always null. Any idea on how to do this?

Hello, John,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
The hidden id data property can be retrieved in the customizeCell() hook via data.recordId.
An important remark is that for flat form, only one id is returned as a string, whereas for compact and classic forms, an array of such ids is returned since in the latter case the data is aggregated.
Also, please keep in mind that for compact and classic forms, the recordId for non-value cells will be returned as null.
In addition, could you please explain more about what you would like to achieve? Additional screenshots, illustrations, code samples are greatly appreciated.
More insight would help us to understand the situation better and to provide an appropriate solution.
Looking forward to your answer.
Kind regards,
Vera

I am trying to get the recordId of the row (record) for the single item within the drillthrough screen. None of the columns with a value include its recordId. ALL are null. If I have a count/summary of 8 records and double-click the drill-through, the record id field does not come through to the individual records. If I turn on editing, the record Id comes through from the onupdate method, but I don't need editing. I need for the record Id to be populated for the row, so I can use it to create a hyperlink to its record in our system from its id.
jsfiddle example If you click, 87, then 45, you will see the record Id is null in the console log. It should be 865.

Hello, John,
Thank you for providing further details.
Indeed, the recordId for the drill-through cells is returned as null.
We would like to confirm that this is not the expected behavior.
Our team will provide the fix for this in the minor release version with the ETA 23rd of March.
Please feel free to write to us in case any additional questions arise.
Kind regards,
