Dear Sir/Madam,

I want to add below url to a custom field

<em><u>hidden link</u></em>

but I got error

Field "Nutrilite Product URL" not updated: Please enter a valid URL address.

Attached please find the custom field setting

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - the URL you want to save does not standard URL format that is why its not saving the URL.

You should try to uncheck the validation URL format and that should allow you to save the URL.

Dear Minesh,

Yes, your suggestion can by pass the validation but how can I ensure the end user not to place any URL, for example missing the https://

Best regards,

Kelvin.

Do you mean you want to validate the field and check if the field value is starts with hidden link? if yes:
=> There is no such feature available, you can write your own method and code to validate the URL field as per your requirement.
