In my report, I use a formula like this in a table:
HYPERLINK(URL_Field, IMAGE(Image_URL, "icon"))
It used to work, but now it redirects to https://lookerstudio.google.com/u/0/ when someone clicks the image. The image shows fine, and I use Owner’s credentials for all data sources.
If I switch to a text hyperlink (HYPERLINK(URL_Field, "Go to the URL")), it works normally.
This is now happening across reports for multiple users. Has anyone else seen this? Is it a recent bug?
I’m seeing the exact same issue across several dashboards.
I use hyperlinks with image fields as clickable links (e.g. thumbnails linking to full-size images), and they worked fine. But now, clicking any of them just redirects to the Looker Studio homepage (https://lookerstudio.google.com/), instead of opening the intended URL.
Text-based link fields still work fine. But when I try to use those with images, the output looks strange — like it’s duplicating the link. For example, I’ll see something like: “https://Picture1.comhttps://Picture1.com” instead of just a clean image link, as before.
It feels like a recent update might have introduced a few bugs in how Looker Studio handles hyperlinks, especially with images.
Hope you get some clarity on this - you’re definitely not the only one affected.
