1 year ago That's terrible! Thanks for finding and reporting it.
Describo tries to render the data with a suitable component and in this case, the URL is causing it to get confused. When the url is first defined, it's shown in a text box but the component has changed from the basic text component to the url component. You don't see of this in the UI but that's why you're getting the URL error message as it's no longer a simple text component.
Pressing the green tick box (which is now on the url component) emits an event to create a linked entity so that's why you get the URL entity when that happens.
The fix (which will come out soon) is to create a linked entity of type URL if the text component emits a url rather than patching the data as a url in text field.
In a regular Text-type field, it is possible to enter a URL. In this case, upon the first save, the field appears as Text, with a text input box, a green checkmark next to it, and a red trash can icon.
If someone clicks on the green checkmark, it will become an attached URL with its controls, while the text input box remains.
Through some interaction, my colleague managed to add a URL without a removal field, which could only be deleted by selecting the entity and using its page.
Once a URL is attached like this, the text input field only accepts URLs and indicates if the format provided deviates from it.
