Parameter url validation not working

When a parameter type is url it doesn't validate the entered value and the user can enter random strings without including http, https, www. or an extension.

Hi Andrew! Could you please provide more context as to what you're referring to here? Zendesk has a lot of platform tools, so it's difficult to understand exactly where the problem is that you're referencing. The more detail about your setup, the better!

Hello Greg, 
Am referring to support apps for zendesk. while installing a private app the parameter field requires a URL type but it doesn't validate the inputs
In the zendesk app

  "parameters": [
    {
      "name": "domain",
      "type": "url",
      "required": true
    }
  ],

Thanks for clarifying that for me! I'm seeing the same behavior when I'm testing this, so I've reached out to the dev team that handles this area for more information. I'll drop you a line when I hear more and thanks for bringing this to our attention!
