Lack of hyperlink and rich text support in forms
Merchants are unable to include clickable hyperlinks in form descriptions or fields, forcing users to manually copy and paste URLs. There is also a need for better text formatting and the ability to preserve rich text when pasting content into form fields.

is there any way to have a hyperlink in a form?
We currently have links in our forms to direct users to help documentation but right now they are just plain text and our users have to copy/paste them into a browser to access the documentation.
hyperlinks don’t transfer through when pasting into the plain text field.
