VAT Return Submission Issue with HMRC Authorization Link

I'm trying to submit a VAT return but the HMRC Authorisation webpage link does not open. I am registered for online VAT submission pilot and have received an email confirming that my registration is now complete. Please can you either fix the link or send me the URL so I can manually put it in the address bar (can I suggest putting it on your help page. Thank you

Hi Mark,

Sorry for the problem you are having in Solar Accounts when clicking the
link. Instead, click this link:

https://api.service.hmrc.gov.uk/oauth/authorize?scope=read%3Avat+write%3Avat&response_type=code&redirect_uri=urn%3Aietf%3Awg%3Aoauth%3A2.0%3Aoob&client_id=oxYYNfjnez_fSMKJh4Ib4elrIvga

Then paste the authorisation code into Solar Accounts. I'll note your
suggestion about adding this link to our help topic web page.
