If the recordIds value is null or empty, the function returns the URL for the record list view of the recordType value record type.
If the record type for the recordType value does not exist, the expression will fail and an error will occur.
If a user does not have at least viewer rights to the record or record type in the returned URL, the user will see an error when trying to open the URL.
