How to remove link from hypertext using a workflow?

I suspect this is a regular expression to extract the anchor text into a collection variable but the error claims the object contains fewer items than the Index variable of 0.

How can I remove the hyperlink from a field to leave only the anchor text and reassign strictly the plain text to a new field?

Hi @RLNtel,

To update another column with the display text of a hyperlink-type column you use an Update item action.
The key is to use the return type “Description Text”.

In this example, I am updating the column called Column1 with the display text from the hyperlink column called URL.
