As other posts for help point out hyperlinks do not transfer when when using functions to look up hyperlink values. Please add support for looking up hyperlink values via formula such that the Display Text and URL transfer to the destination. See details in the links below.
The workaround of linking to a cell in another sheet containing a URL is extremely tedious when working with many rows.
The workaround of using URLs only with no friendly text is unprofessional and gives a poor user experience.

You should be able to copy a hyperlink (such as a link to another sheet) by way of a formula. Having to do each one separately is painful and time consuming.
Not having this is a huge disappointment.
I've already got the hyperlink in one sheet, and when I INDEX/MATCH or VLOOKUP that cell, I should be able to pull not just the text but the whole link including the friendly name over. It's so annoying to only be able to get the URL

I have a workflow with nearly 40 automations, half of which are email-based requests for updates with various sets of triggers. While I know the automations work, due to months of testing, when our system went live to the institution, I became very worried that the automations wouldn't run and I'd have no idea whether or…

It would be useful if users who clicked a Dynamic View link (that they were not previously added to) could "request access" to the Dynamic View, and provide a reason, so that the admin can easily grant that access. The use case for me would be to avoid having to pre-populate and then maintain a user group of viewers, but…
