Inconsistencies in behaviour between link field and CKEditor link when adding links without url scheme

[Alejandro-AP00]

Description

When creating links using the regular link field in Craft CMS, adding a link without a scheme, for example, google.com, would add the https:// to whatever value you selected. When doing this within the CKEditor link, the result is different; the scheme is not added to the link.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a regular link with the options enabled for Allow root-relative URLs, Allow anchors, Allow custom URL schemes
2. Use it by adding google.com without a scheme, when copying the link the https is added
3. Create a new CKEditor field.
4. Add a link with the same google.com without a scheme, this one doesn't auto add the https

Additional info

• Craft version: Craft Pro 5.10.2
• PHP version: 8.5.5
• Database driver & version: MySQL 8.0.33
• Plugins & versions: CKEditor 5.5.0

Thank you for your help!

Hi, thanks for getting in touch! This behaviour comes from the CKEditor, and you can customise it by adding desired Config Options to your CKEditor field(s) (Control Panel > Settings > Fields). For example, to ensure https:// is added to links, you can add the following:

{
	"link": {
		"defaultProtocol": "https:\/\/"
	}
}

You can find more info on this here: https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckeditor5/latest/features/link.html#adding-default-link-protocol-to-external-links.

I hope this helps!
