Displaying Tracking code as a link

Problem/Motivation

Previously when entering a Tracking Code as an URL in Order Shipments it will automatically display as a link to external server.

However, after an update that was applied a couple of years back the Tracking code will only display as text in:
Order details "Shipping Information" pane /admin/commerce/orders/(order number)
and in Customer Order /user/(user number)/orders/(order number)

The field handling the tracking code is shown as a textfield in /admin/commerce/config/shipment-types/default/edit/form-display
The display type in /admin/commerce/config/shipment-types/default/edit/display allows options of Tracking link and Plain Text but does not change the display to link.

In views :Tracking
Fields: Tracking Code
REWRITE Results the "External server URL" option was selected and the Preview results changed the URL to links.
But the displays in order summary and in customer order still does not show the URL as a link.

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

Change field type from textfield to link?

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

API changes

Data model changes
