URL

A website address, such as a project page or institutional profile.

All settings

Select + in the editor, choose URL Input, then select the question and open Content.

All questions also have Title and Description. Replace the starter title with your question; Description is optional and starts blank. Use it for instructions that should remain visible while answering. The defaults below are for a newly added question, not necessarily the example above. The example starts with Required on so you can try validation; real new questions default to optional.

Setting	Default	Behaviour and availability
Placeholder	Enter your answer…	Shown while empty; suggests an answer but does not supply one.
Required	Off	Under Validation. Requires an answer before continuing when this question is shown.

Example: link to a project page

Set Placeholder to “https://example.com/project” and say whether you want a public project page, a profile or another kind of link. A bare domain such as “example.com” does not meet the current answer check; include http:// or https://.

What validation checks

The current check looks for one of those prefixes followed by text. It does not visit the address, verify that it is a complete working website, or restrict answers to a particular domain. There is no domain restriction or custom URL-pattern setting in this panel.

Try a complete URL, a bare domain and a blank answer. Optional allows blank; a supplied value still needs the expected prefix. If people are supposed to provide a file rather than a link, make that difference clear in the instructions—this question does not upload the linked content.

Branching and piping

Open Advanced → Conditional Logic to route from an answer. In fields that offer { }, use piping to insert an earlier answer. Plan requirements apply to advanced logic, expressions and option attributes; these are separate from the Content settings above.
