Issue Summary

Automation will create a mailto: link rather than a hyperlink when setting a field containing an email address

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create an Automation rule that sets a text field with a URL containing an email address, such as:

http://atlassian.com?test={{reporter.emailaddress}} 

1. Run the automation rule and evidence the link created is a mailto link

mailto:http://atlassian.com?test=prjmantestatlas@gmail.com 

Expected Results

The field should result in a hyperlink but not a mailto link

Actual Results

The field wrongly includes a mailto link

Workaround

Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
