Resolution

This issue is resolved in RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle 7.2.0 P03.
 

Workaround

Upgrade to the versions mentioned in related RSA Knowledge Base Article 000038616 -- Hyperlinks in the Email body of Workflow Nodes that are defined as Job Level Variables are not saved in RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle. Once you have upgraded to one of those versions, the following workaround can be used:

Create a new job-level variable where the entire URL is part of the variable and no part of the URL includes static text.
