Problem Note 65108: External URL links with the MAILTO protocol cannot be created or edited in SAS® Visual Analytics
After recent security updates, SAS Visual Analytics no longer enables you to use the MAILTO protocol in new external URL links. Existing links continue to work, but you cannot modify them.
For example, you would see the following message in the Add URL Link Action dialog box:

Currently, you cannot re-enable support for this protocol.
