Why is hyperref package causing an issue with \footnotemark? - latex

Question

I had recently posted a question seeking help for linking a glossary in a specific way and it was resolved, thanks to #samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz for helping me out. url to the post
Now, going ahead with the suggestions, I make use of \hyperref package in my project and that is causing an issue with the use of \footnotemark[]. I have attached the screenshots below along with a MWE.
Screenshots :
With the hyperref package I get the error :
Without the hyperref package I get the output with no errors :
MWE :
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} % Input encoding (this file): 8 bit unicode. Default by most text editors
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} % Output encoding (pdf file)
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% Packages used in the example
\usepackage[dvipsnames]{xcolor}
\usepackage{graphicx} % Included graphics and some resizable boxes
\usepackage{url} % nice urls with line breaks
\usepackage{lipsum} % nonsense text blocks
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{subcaption}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\usepackage[nonumberlist,acronym,

description={A verification plan is a list of the procedures and methods to be used for verification}
}
\newacronym{ml}{ML}{Machine Learning}
%%UNCOMMENT THIS AND THERE IS AN ERROR WITH GLOSSARY
%\usepackage{hyperref}
%\hypersetup{

\textbf{Develop}: The develop phase includes \gls{vp}\footnotemark[\glsrefentry{vp}], creating verification environment, testbench and test case development. \acrfull{ml}
\end{document}
So in short, I want to have my glossary hyperlinked along with referencing it by using \footnotemark[\glsrefentry....].
Any solution/advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

With hyperref, the \glsrefentry{...} macro is a link to your list of acronyms, which conflicts with using it as a footnotemark. You can use e.g. \textsuperscript{...} as a workaround:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} % Input encoding (this file): 8 bit unicode. Default by most text editors
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} % Output encoding (pdf file)
