Form Hyperlink in description text not working

Hello all,

With the new text formatting abilities in the description box of forms, it appears the hyperlink button does not work. Has anyone noticed this or can help me figure out if I'm using it incorrectly?


Thanks in advance,


Rachelle

    Hi@Rachelle McKeown

    I hope you're well and safe!

    • What happens more specifically?
    • Have you added some text, selected it, and then clicked the button?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe and have a fantastic week!

    Best,
