Hyperlinks no longer work in Illustrator 2025

The ability to add links to shapes to create buttons no longer works in the latest version. When exporting to PDF, the function disappears.
When opening files that previously had them and were working, when exporting with the current version of Illustrator, the hyperlink disappears.
I've checked all the PDF format options, and none of them work.

I'm using version 29.7.1.

I figured it out! If the shape is on any layer other than the top one, the button doesn't work.
