URL Field

The URL Field component is a specialised text input for collecting web addresses in forms.

It behaves like a standard text field, but it is configured for URL entry and browser autocomplete, which makes it a better fit for website links and other URL-style values.

Adding a URL field

The URL Field component must be nested inside a Form component.

To add it to a screen, click Form > URL Field.

Common settings

Setting	Description
Field	Connected field from the parent form, or a custom field name entered manually.
Label	Text shown to the user next to the input.
Placeholder	Hint text shown inside the input before a value is entered.
Default Value	Pre-fills the field when the form first loads.
Help Text	Supporting text displayed beneath the input.
Disabled	Prevents the user from editing the value.
Read only	Displays the value without allowing edits.
On change	Triggers configured actions when the field value changes.
Validation	Lets you require valid URL values and choose which protocols are accepted, such as `http` or `https`.

Validation

By default, the URL field validates values as website URLs and accepts http and https links.

You can update the validation rule to allow additional protocols when needed, such as ftp or mailto.

If you are collecting standard website links, keep the default http and https protocols selected.
