Description

When you define a display-entity you have the possibility to add a sub-hyperlink related to the element displayed.

             <field name="partyIdFrom">
                <display-entity entity-name="PartyNameView" key-field-name="partyId" description="${groupName}${firstName} ${lastName}">
                    <sub-hyperlink target="viewprofile" description="view">...</sub-hyperlink>
                </display-entity>
            <field>

This display the party name with a link "view" connected.

When you use the name a as link without a dedicate sub link, you need to change all the form to resolve the information to display for creating an hyperlink

            <row-actions>
                <entity-one entity-name="PartyNameView" value-field="partyName">
                        <field-map field-name="partyId" from-field="partyIdFrom"/>
                </entity-one>
                <set field="partyNameValue" value=" ${partyName.groupName}${partyName.firstName} ${partyName.lastName}"/>
            </row-actions>
            <field name="partyIdFrom">
                <hyperlink target="viewprofile" description="${partyNameValue}">..</hyperlink>
            </field>

We lost the advantage of the display-entity. We can suggest to improve display-entity with the rule :

If the display-entity has a subhyperlink and the subhyperlink haven't description, the description of the link is the display-entity description.
In the code, if a sub-hyperlink has an empty description, we convert the display entity as a hyperlink
