Links Not Working

Anyone else having issues with links to other Smartsheet sheets not working on and off? This is the second issue I have had this month. My table is not populating with the little arrow for the link showing as red versus blue. Error message says:

Error: this link is invalid because the linked cell has been deleted.

But, if I click on the link, it goes right to the correct cell on another sheet that is populated.

Last time I had this issue, it resolved itself after a day or two. Not sure how to resolve.

It is odd that the issue is self-correcting, typically if the link arrow is red, that means the source that was pulling the data in no longer exists. The value that remains is just the last value that was linked before the sheet was removed, I always call them 'ghost values'. When you click to follow the link, does the pop-up window give you the option to "Go to Source Sheet" or something like that, what happens when you select that? Maybe somebody undeleted the sheet after they realized a screw-up?
