I am trying to: I have a URL input in a form that the allows the user to input a URL.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link

I expected to see: That it allows for someone enter a URL without https. For example if a user entered anesthesiology.uw.edu in the URL form input it should work because if you copy and paste that exact url in your browser it will still go to the same website.

Instead, I got: "Please enter a valid URL address" when using a URL without https. But if I enter hidden link the validation is fine.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - its native URL validation and it requires either http:/ or https:// to validate the URL.

Please check the URL definition:
- hidden link

URI = scheme:[//authority]path[?query][#fragment]

If you are using URL validation setting, then the "scheme" is required for URL value.
