Summary
When adding a link in a Pull Request comment, please ensure to include the 'http://' or 'https://' protocol at the beginning of the URL. If this is omitted, the link will redirect to the open Pull Request itself, rather than the intended destination.
Environment
7.x,8.x
Cause
The absence of the "http://" or "https://" protocol before the actual URL.
Solution
Although the link appears correctly formatted, the lack of "https://" causes the browser to interpret it as a relative URL. To resolve this issue, ensure that "https://" is added to the beginning of the URL. Doing so will ensure the link directs to the intended webpage rather than the Pull Request details.
