Hey Joe. Did you ever get a solution for this? It is happening to me as well.

Yes. We found that the “_” in the URL is breaking it. We had to create a new column with a new formula to rewrite the url. This is the formula we used:

SUBSTITUTE({Phase 2 URL}, "_", "\\_")

obviously, change “{Phase 2 URL}” with whatever column is your use case.
