Note, if you leave 'article_link' blank in a create or edit form, it will be entered as an empty string in the database rather than computed. To avoid that with create forms, you can instead limit 'article_link' to appear only in edit forms by replacing "formargs" above with "editargs" (which only applies to edit forms).
