https://example--dev.lightning.force.com/lightning/page/home?0.source=alohaHeader
This is the URL and I want to capture only
https://example--dev.lightning.force.com/lightning
in a custom formula field.

URL can be changed anytime, is there a use case?– Pranay JaiswalCommented Nov 16, 2018 at 19:05

Yes, I want to append the URL to open a report in Lightning. But can this part of the URL be captured?– VChandraCommented Nov 16, 2018 at 19:14

You dont have to capture a URL for that, just create a formula field of type text and provide the hyperlink URL as, where first parameter is the report id. It will open the report in same tab/window
HYPERLINK('/00O58000002mRTN', 'Open Report ','_self')

You can avoid the awkward
_classic/URL-translation redirect by using the native Lightning URL, like/lightning/r/Report/MY_ID/view. Commented Nov 16, 2018 at 19:25 -
Apparently for me, it still opens the report in lightning, without any tweaks Commented Nov 16, 2018 at 19:25

Huh. Interesting. I get a quick flash in the URL bar of a redirect through
/_classic/someIDbefore it resolves the Lightning URL. I wonder if that's context-dependent. Commented Nov 16, 2018 at 19:27 -
Probably if you have switched to lightning, it puts a cookie in your browser, so that even classic url are redirected to lighting. Commented Nov 16, 2018 at 19:28

1That bit is important, can you edit the question and provide details like you are using lightning components. Using lightning components you can capture the URL, store in database and so much more. Also if you can post the code that you have tried would also help us from reinventing the wheel and reach solution faster. Commented Nov 16, 2018 at 19:37
